Bob Books Set 2: Advancing Beginners
Bob Books Set 2 continues to build reading skills. Use of three-letter words and consistent vowel sounds in slightly longer stories build confidence. Children love the hilarious (and sometimes mischievous) stories and pictures. These twelve books, filled with fun, drama, and surprise keep interest high for even the youngest readers.

My daughter is using these to help her with her reading. These were recommended to us by her teacher, and we have found them useful in supporting foundational level reading.

I read this with my son who is in kindergarten. It is hard to find beginner reader books that kids can actually read. There are ususually words that are certainly more advanced in many beginner reader books which can be frustrating for little ones. The vocabulary is this set is not very advanced and there is a lot of repetition to make the beginner reader feel successful.

I've used the whole series with several children and helped them get off to a great start in reading. The children enjoy the stories, laugh often while reading and have a lot of pride in being able to read or figure out the words with little to no help.They are an exceltent value, hold up well to pre-schooler hands, are easy to use and store.

The BOB book series is a great tool to assist your child who is learning to read. The books have simple but effective stories that foster using context in reading.

Using for tutoring a kindergarten child. Repetition of simple words is helpful.

Great way for a beginning reader to feel successful. The pics are cute and the characters funny. My son was so thrilled with himself when he could read a whole book with hardly any prompting. We got the beginning set and the Kindergarten sight word set. Well worth the investment. I was skeptical but now I love the BOB series and highly recommend. It really works!

My four-year-old granddaughter really liked this series and she felt a huge sense of accomplishment as each book was completed. For future editions, I would suggest that the "fancy a" be used in these books since that is generally what is found in most print. The drawings are humorously charming even without much color.

I have a reluctant reader (4 1/2 year old boy). Even though the stories are very simple (read boring to mom), he loves that he can "read" a book by himself.

I use these books with my 3 year old grandson who has already mastered the previous sets. He is challenged (for now) by these word families. Since the story line is simple and easy to follow/comprehend we like to embellish as we go along. Sometimes we use only rhyming words, sometimes words that start with a particular letter, etc.We use these books in the bathroom, at the dinner table, in bed, in the car, in the wagon, on the airplane. We never leave home without them.

I Also Recommend:
My son is in kindergarten and is learning to read. These Bob books are a great tool to use. Bob Books set 2 is a great addition to set 1. It uses some of the same characters, review a lot of words from set one, but at the same time are a little harder to read. My son was so excited to be able to read books all by himself without any help. The Illustrations are very dull and simple, and they do not have very much color, but my son still loves reading them. The stories are very simple and sometimes repetative, but again this is how children learn to read. They only have three and four letter words, so they are easy for the learners to read. I would and have recommended the Bob Books set 2, to any one learning to read.

My daughter had to read all 12 books in two nights (it would have been in one night, if I did not make her go to bed!) She was so excited by the size of the book and the readability. Graphics could be better, but she was very happy being able to read the repetitive words. Great series to boost confidence.

My 4 year old grandson just devoured these books. He LOVED learning new words and feeling the 'success' of reading on his own. He eagerly awaited each new set of books and loved each as much as the last. He goes back to the beginning and re-reads them to his little brother regularly.

I bought this set for my granddaughter that is in kindergarten and she can read a little so I gave her the advanced beginner reader set #2 and she can read all of them so now I must purchase the next set for her. These are great for kids and my grandson also loves them, he is 4.
