Bob Books - Set 1: Beginning Readers Hardcover Bind-Up Phonics, Ages 4 and Up, Kindergarten (Stage 1: Starting to Read)

Perfect for children who are just learning letter sounds, each book in this set contains two- and three-letter words that can be sounded out.

The very simple stories and funny pictures allow kids to read a whole book and build their confidence. Kids can't wait to read these books to everyone they know!

Inside this sturdy hardcover you'll find:

• 12 easy-to-read, hilarious stories; 12 pages each; 4-27 unique words per book

Each story includes:

• Decodable text: Two- and three-letter words with short vowels that can be sounded out (on, sat, can, ran)
• Very simple sentences (Sam sat.)
• Very limited sight words (a, the)
• New letter sounds added gradually until young readers have read stories with all letters of the alphabet (except Q)
