Scholastic s award-winning reading program is now available to pre-readers with the creation of My First Bob BooksTM. Expanding upon the Bob Books method and philosophy, these brand new sets offer children and their parents simple and satisfying tools that lay an important foundation for reading readiness. My First Bob Books:Alphabet helps children match sounds to letters, letters to words, and words to a story through the introduction of uppercase and lowercase letters and initial letter sounds. My First Bob Books:Pre-Reading Skills uses humorous read-aloud stories to introduce spatial, relational and sequencing concepts that kids need in preparation for reading.

User Reviews about Pre-Reading Skills (My First Bob Books) (My First Bob Books)

My 2 1/2 year loves and really enjoys these books. He carries the books in the box around and knows all the titles by heart. I am very happy about this purchase. -- Great starter books

A great way to start reading. I was using the Dick & Jane readers but there is so much repetition. The Bob books use a variety of words and word builders. Great!! -- Excellent Reader

These books are a parents/teachers dream...and kids love them. They are a must for any home. -- Love these books

These pre reading skills are super important. Children must know their shapes, sorting, patterning, sequencing, colors etc. BEFORE they begin to read. They can be learned at the same time as they learn letters or before. I teach PreK and many children coming to me don't know these skills. These pre reading books should be introduced at age 2 (often these skills are not). If your child already knows their letters don't buy this set. For children who know letters and sounds get the Bob Books FIRST set. If learning letters get the ABC set.

Bob Books are very good for children learning to read. I used these with my 2 children and my students. -- Bob books are wonderful
