5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Series for Emerging Readers, May 4, 2000

By A Customer

This is the same series as "More Bob Books," but it has been repackaged. It is a series of eight readers focusing on short vowels, consonant blends and compound words. My five year old started with "Bob Books First" and has progressed to this series. He finds the stories much more interesting but sometimes struggles with the new compound words. By the third time reading a book he had mastered it sufficiently to be anxious to begin reading the next. We could not be more pleased with the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank You!!!, April 10, 2001

By	claire podesta (bear, de United States) - See all my reviews

I can not say enough good things about these books. My 6 year old daughter has struggled with reading for a while. She would get frustrated and discouraged with other books. The BOB books are easy for her to decode, The illustrations are simple and not distracting.

she feels a sense of accomplishment when she completes the books. She brings one or two books with her where ever she goes and has started reading to everyone, she even calls her relatives out of state and reads them the stories over the phone! This is the best reading program I have ever seen! Thank you for developing this program!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific beginning readers, September 23, 2004

By	Robin Noel (Home is where the Air Force sends us) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

These books are awesome in that they gently elevate the child to greater and greater difficulty in reading, consistently and slowly. There are no huge gaps in complexity, no wondering if this book is too difficult or too easy. Each set naturally progresses to the next, and the overall series ends with the child being comfortably able to process easy readers from the library. Both of my children were able to learn to read using their "Mat books" as they call them, and were always eager to read the next book, or begin the next box. I cannot praise them highly enough. Definitely worthwhile.
