B started level one at 4 years old and just finished level 3 at 5.5 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-books-and-learning-to-read#post-2067135 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 17:17:04 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2067135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: I don't know. I found them and bought the books on the website. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-books-and-learning-to-read#post-2067124 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 17:09:45 +0000 MamaBehr 2067124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: I might go back and get the sight words collection. I was worried those were too advance for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-books-and-learning-to-read#post-2067120 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 17:06:18 +0000 MamaBehr 2067120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Those books look awesome! Can you only buy them from that website? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-books-and-learning-to-read#post-2067035 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 16:30:59 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2067035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: They are gorgeous and have a little more softness and rhythm to them while being very readable for new readers. They are just spendy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-books-and-learning-to-read#post-2067032 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 16:29:42 +0000 mrsjazz 2067032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: These look great. So many books! </p> <p>I was surprised by how much LO loves the Bob Books because there's not much to them. The thing I love about the Bob Books is that I can read 5 at bedtime and LO thinks she's winning something because we normally read 1-3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-books-and-learning-to-read#post-2067023 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 16:24:05 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2067023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: I think you might love Books to Remember too :)<br /> <a href="http://www.flyleafpublishing.com/EmergentReaders.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.flyleafpublishing.com/EmergentReaders.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-books-and-learning-to-read#post-2067010 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 16:20:43 +0000 mrsjazz 2067010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1 is for beginning readers and goes over the sounds of letters. I bought the Sight Words Kindergarten by accident when I should have bought set 1 for LO. I think if your LO knows all the sounds then the Sight Words Kindergarten might be good for her. LO is too young for reading but the books are so cute and short, she knows a couple of the words by sight now but we should really be working on the sounds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-books-and-learning-to-read#post-2066994 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 16:15:05 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2066994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Collection 1 is the best to start with. There are lots of site words, but it is also really good at helping kids establish confidence in reading. </p> <p>They are not super engaging, which was a drawback, but we also found Books to Remember which are a little spendy, but fabulous for engagement and have used those too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-books-and-learning-to-read#post-2066978 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 16:08:42 +0000 MamaBehr 2066978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have any of you used BOB books to help teach reading? I bought the second collection today, and I know DD couldn't read this yet. And I was wondering if it would be a waste of money to buy Collection 1. She knows all the letters and sounds, but no sight words yet. Does Collection 1 start with sight words? </p>
