Bob Books Set 5- Long Vowels

These are so simple and build in skill so slowly. They are great. My 8 yr old has been struggling to read. But learning how to sound a few cvc words and he can read an entire book! That really motivated him. He went through all of these books in a few weeks. So we are done with them. So worth it.

After my 5 year old got most of her letter sounds down we started going through the Bob books, starting with Set 1. Our tradition was for her to read a story (almost) every night before I read something to her (sometimes I'd let her re-read something she read before, or I'd let her off the hook if she was really tired -- wanted to keep it positive). The books start super-easy, and they progress very slowly. After about 8 months we got through all the books and she can now tackle level 1-2 easy readers on her own. Learning to read is an enormous feat, and these books help parents guide kids through it systematically and at their own pace. I strongly recommend everyone goes through the whole series and then passes the books on to someone else!

I cannot say enough about Bob's books. I taught my son had to read using every single level and I use them with my students as well. I recommend them to my friends and parents of my students. I really can't say enough good things about Bob's books. It features repetitive reading. Children do not move on to the next level until they have mastered 100% accuracy.

If you have a child that is starting to read, get these books! The progressive nature of the series allows young people to feel a sense of accomplishment without being overwhelmed. We have given several sets of these books to our family and friends who have little people and they have all reported great success. I don't really care to listen to an inexperienced reader (makes me cringe) but the books move along fast enough that they don't overwhelm the child (or bore you stupid). I can't say enough good about this series!

These books are perfect for the child who is learning how to read. Nice short stories with simple words. I wouldn’t say the stories are phenomenal pieces of literature or anything but they do the job. Included with the books are good reading hints like “when there is an e at the end of a word, the vowel in the middle is usually a long vowel.” Simple pictures that look like a kid drew them.

This is a nice progression from the previous sets. It follows along with what they are learning in school. The only con: I'd prefer one book to focus on one long vowel sound and its multiple spellings. When we were studying long E, I had to use 2 different books, one for ee and another for ea and e_e. "Joe's Toe" has Long O spelled oe, and long I spelled i_e. "Chickens" was much better, it focuses on Long A spelled ai, ay, & a_e. I wish they were all more like "Chickens." You might also want to look at "Now I'm Reading: Amazing Animals" in addition to Bob Books Set 5. Each book focuses more on the multiple spellings of each long vowel.

These are so great! Long vowels are sometimes the hardest thing for students to understand. It just takes practice and these books really target the specific words that they will need to practice. The rest of the words are easy sight words, so they can focus on the long vowel ones. I saw great success with my students.

Bob books are great for beginning readers - easy to learn words, not too many words on a page, not too many pages, not intimidating to beginning readers. They have been really helpful in getting my first grader on the right path to becoming a good reader. If there is one criticism, the subject matter of the books gets a bit boring. But....highly recommend ALL Bob books.

My daughter started using these books before she started kindergarten. This set of books (all five volumes) are awesome. I recommend these to anyone with a child learning to read. Starting with book 1 from the first set, my daughter has read through the whole series, mastering each book, in about 4 months. I loved how each book built on the last one, it was so easy for me help her move forward. She loves reading and is very confident and not afraid to try new words. I just wish there was more books to continue building her skills.

Bought set 1-5 for my granddaughter and she loves them! She has her mom let me know when she needs the next set. I think that says a lot when a child is asking for the next set of these books. Very happy with my purchase

When my oldest daughter started reading instruction in pre-kindergarden, her teacher used these books, and it worked very smoothly. When my youngest daughter went through a different preschool and then started public kindergarden some years later, I kept waiting for the teachers to introduce some sort of reading instruction like this. It never happened. So my youngest never learned to read in school. So now I'm homeschooling my girls, bought my own set of Bob books, and after a couple months of "mama school" my youngest is now reading and writing. The Bob Books work. They're a manageable format, manageable size, and easy to use. If you want to teach someone to read, this series works.

Every Bob Book set prior to this one has been perfect for working with my son on developing his ability to read. In particular, I have been impressed with how gradated each book in each set has been, so that he can easily step into each consecutive book with confidence. Set 5, however, tossed far too many new rules into each book without giving sufficient time to practice the rules previously introduced. Had this set been expanded into two sets of eight books, it would have been perfect. I would have happily bought another set if it would have meant that they could have stayed more true to their mission of helping children feel the confidence of reading it by themselves.

My son loves these books, and has been so excited to read ever since we started reading the Bob Books series. We started with set 1 when he was 4, and he's in kindergarten now reading Set 5 wonderfully. The sentences are simple, but the stories are engaging. I like the simple artwork that helps with figuring out tough words, but doesn't distract from the effort of reading. The new sounds are grouped together well, so that it's easy to pick up multiple new words in the same family. My son loves that the books in Set 5 have a word count on the back cover - he gets so excited that he just read so many words! We love the Bob books and the excitement for reading that they have generated in our son!

Use these books! Child went from recognizing letters and sounds to second grade reading level reading these sporadically. Following their method in a child led way allowed for the love of reading to thrive and skill to flourish. Couldn't be happier!

If you are teaching phonics based reading this is a must have. Simple and progressive bob books are a gem.

These books are great for children learning to read. Simple and short so they don't lose interest. My issue with the books are they are very small. I was surprised at the size, I had other Bob boos that were almost twice the size and easy to hold, these are very small and lightweight. The content is great and the children love them. I don't think they will last more than a couple children.

I bought this with the set 4.... My youngest daughter was able to gain her confidence with the help of these books... It was great to listen to her reading and enjoying the reading as her confidence grew... They are a great set of books for the little ones that are having troubles grasping having to read a book and for building that confidence that they can read. She read through these very rapidly (good and bad). The good is the confidence as I mentioned early... the bad is that she now wants more(which actually is not a bad thing) Better than infront of a game system...........

My grandson loves this book and it is helping him with learning his vowel sounds.

As my 5 yo progresses through his phonics work, we have bought each set of books. I am a Homeschool mom of 4, and these will be used for my last 2, since the olders can already read. The 5 yo loves the books. They are quick and he is able to read them on his own. We use the flashcards (that come in some of the sets) for review. The only complaint (and its more of a question, not a complaint) is why the case does not fit the books? Its too big. It has a cardboard insert on the bottom and there is space behind the books as well. Seems like a packaging waste to me?

This series was recommended to me by a friend of mine who used them with there 3-4 year old. A great set of books for the child who is just beginning to read. The words are simple and nearly always of the sound it out variety.These books are designed to teach reading skills acquisition. With a foundation in phonics methods, each level addresses a single stage of reading development. The illustrations are clever, the stories funny. The books are on the 'See Dick run' level but are much more fun than those old chestnuts. This is the fifth set in a series of 5. I bought this set for my son and he devoured them. we read one book every night. He was so happy when he could say that "He Read the Whole Book"!! He is now 8 and reading at a 5th grade level. I feel that the Bob Book series definitely helped in his reading skills. I would and have recommended these books to everyone I can !!!!!!

I homeschool my 4 boys and I could not have done it without Bob books! We started with set one while they were in kindergarten and have progressed from there. My 2nd grader has gotten to set 5 long vowels. He hates to read but loves Bob books! I ordered these for him about 2 months ago and he could not wait to get them and begin reading! I am now reusing set one with my kindergartner and he loves them as well. The looks on their faces when they are actually reading is priceless!

Great little book for kids to read each day during the summer

If you have a preschooler, kindergartner or even a struggling first grader you will not be sorry you purchase these books! My four yr old told me he wanted to read so we started with set 1 and I have all 5 boxed sets plus the Kindergarten sight words boxed set. Today my preschooler is reading at the same level my first grader was at the beginning of the school year; and my first grader was in the top 3/4 of his class! The books are perfect in every way. The start off using 3 letters a book, one sentence per page and gradually get more complex letter sounds and longer stories. My son WANTS to read and we read twice daily! I taught my now middle schooler how to read at age four also but I know it would've been a lot less stressful (for me) if I would have known about these books. My son practically taught himself to read these books! Just make sure that your child can recognize each letter and knows what sound it makes. We only knew short vowel sounds when we started these, now my son can read words like 'wonderful', 'bright', 'another', 'business' and more! DO NOT HESITATE, buy these for your child; and yourself!!

Great books but all of these books are also in the Collection 3 box incase you have that already.

My son started off the first grade slightly behind in his reading. I knew he could do it, he just needed the right reading material and practice. Completely lost on where to start, I liked the what I saw with the Bob books and the reviews. Starting with book 1 from the first set, my son has read through the whole series, mastering each book, in about 6-7 months. I loved how each book built on the last one, it was so easy for me help him move forward. He thought the books were really silly which helped keep him interested. Some books he wanted to read over and over because he enjoyed them so much. Now he's at grage level and a much more confident reader. When he read the last book, we went back to the very first book so he could see how far he came and he was very proud of himself. I am too! I just wish there was another set for the next statge:0( BTW - One review complained that there were no long vowels to be found in this book, she's off. it was full of long vowels and not just the one with the silent "e".

Great for young reader

My son thought the plot lines were a bit boring, but it was nice to have something he could read with his limited skills. The Bob Books systematically take the child from just a few letters and sounds through meeting each new sound and finally to reading longer words and more complicated stories. My son understood that the books were in order, gradually increasing in complexity, and he took pride in mastering each one and moving up to a new level.

Love these books. My twins are been having such a hard time learning to read these books have been helping them. They are finally reading thanks to these books. They came really fast in the mail and are in perfect condition with all the books in the box. Do not hesitate get these Bob books. Get all of the Bob books.

These books are truly for readers learning to sound words out. So many "level one" readers have ridiculous words for beginning readers. The BOB books truly are at their level and there are so many sets your child can move up through each box set and gain more and more confidence as they go.

My kids reading ability has greatly improved by reading bobs books. We have all the sets and will definitely pass them on to younger family members.

Love Bobs books. These along with Dr. Seuss has really helped my kids develop their skills.

We got our first bob’s books as a birthday gift- stage 1. Our girls were hooked to reading it. Once they started progressing, ordered set 4 and 5. Apt for kindergartener to learn to read !! They are able to read on their own !!

Books made it but the outer book holder box get beat up in transit. The books will read the same though.

Can't go wrong with Bob Books!!! They are the absolute best books to teach children how to read. Every set is different. The kids don't get bored they get excited they can move through them so quickly. If they get bored it's time to move to a higher set. I taught school and I recommend Bob books to all parents.

I purchased these for my son before he started prek and he loved them he start reading on his own and taking interest in words by time he started prek and time he was in Kindergarten he got to read to him class.

I would recommend the BOB books over any other set of readers for emergent readers. My daughter started reading these at age 3 (she was an older 3) and started with Set 1. After seeing her success, I ordered all of the sets for home use. They are easy to read while supporting and encouraging reading skills. The earliest sets start with one-letter phonograms, and the sets progress to more challenging arrangements of phonograms.

Bought a kindle version for full price and I am unable to use on Kindle.

I am using the Bob series to supplement my Kinder's phonics program. The books have just the right difficulty to challenge but not discourage. My Kinder LOVES them! My only challenge with books stems from my Kinder's ability to memorize everything very quickly. Plus the pictures might give too many context clues for us. Overall, we purchased first two sets and, once started, quickly purchased the remaining sets. Great product!

It's like this series was written and organized by a completely different group. There are no long vowels to speak of and the leap in skill level is odd and illogical.

I use these books for tutoring. I like them because they align with my phonics program. The problem is that the illustrations sometimes do not match the story - they are just not good. Almost every day I have a student mention something that is not right with the illustrations. I was very happy when I first rec'd them, but I am ready to start looking for something else.

We've had these for 18 months now. My son entered KD not able to read. We used bob books (not these but lower levels) for 15 minutes a night, and within 2 months and after going through the first three sets, he was able to sound out words and reading - Then he moved on to set 4 and 5 within another month or so. He loves reading now and reads at a 3rd/4th grade level - thanks in part to these great series of books.

My sons' read all these books and now we are on child #3. They seem inane by our adult standard and too short, but it is the sense of accomplishment that is so powerful with our kids. Even if the word total is small per book, they CAN read them and that confidence is huge. A teacher told me about these when our kids were in preschool. We bought the whole set.

Buy these books~~ my grandson loved them

Love bob books. Started with stage 1 and have moved through various packs. Working well to teach my 4 year old to read.

Fit right into my daughters homeschooling.

good buy

Get your kids off to a great start with these in your library. Every child should have these. They are a great learning tool to begin understanding the letters and their sounds

At three and a half my son asked me to teach him to read. He knew the letter names and sounds so we moved to learning to rhyme, figuring out beginning and ending sounds, some sight words, and finally to blending. Blending was the most challenging and the Level 1 readers I picked up from the library were horribly frustrating. They include many words that are not easily decodable, way too many sight words, and were often upwards of 30 pages. Then I found the first set of Bob Books at the thrift store. They are just PERFECT for the beginning reader. The words are decodable, there are just a few sight words, and each book can be finished in one sitting. I learned along the way that we needed to stick to reading the books in each set in order and that there was no frustration if I first had him read the words in the back of the book. At four and a half he has finished set 5 and is a reader! I wish they made more sets...maybe a Bob Chapter Books set. Many Level 1 readers are still quite a challenge because of their length. I recently found a series called Green Light Readers and their Level 2 books have been a good follow up to Bob books.

I love the Bob books. Great to teach emerging readers!

Bob Books are a great way for your child to learn how to read. They are quirky and remind me of the 70s - in a fun and silly way. It is nice to have them split up into the sets of long vowels, short vowels, sight words, complex words, etc.

If your child doesn't like to read as my 7 yr old boy doesn't these are helpful. They are short & help build reading skills.

As a 1st grade teacher, these books are indispensable for my emerging readers who still need a short, quickie book that allows them to focus their skills on basic decoding and sight words. The pictures are a delight and the kids feel very comfortable with these. The pictures really help the kids who are struggling with the vowels. Familiarity is key.

There were a couple of type issues in the books that kept me from giving them five stars but overall Bob Books are the only ones I will use in my classroom.

We have all the sets of the Bob books, they have helped my daughter with her reading so much. She has really taken off and started to get the hang of reading since we started using the Bob Books. She asks for them, we were two sets short of all of them, and was begging me to order the last two sets for her to read.

I am a teacher that now homeschools my dyslexic daughter. These books are awesome for phonics instruction and sight words. We have all of the sets and read about 4-5 a day.

Ok

excellent book for children

bought kindle version - the picture is on one page and the text is on the next page. save your money and get the paperback.

Great set for kids learning to read. I highly recommend them!

My first grader is making great strides in his reading ability. This set of books was just at his reading level. He was able to read most of the words, which helped to boost his confidence, but also contained the larger words he needs to be challenged. I just wish there was a set 6 to purchase.

Son happy with them.

They make reading easy and fun. They got easier as I became a better reader.

The best books to buy. If you want your kid to learn how to read, Bob's Books is the way to go. This helped us out a lot and now my son can read with no problem.

dependable product in multiple levels of reading skill

I purchased this as a gift to a little friend who was graduating from kindergarten. She needed something short to keep her attention as well as a review of her long vowel sounds. Most kindergartners learn long vowel sounds at the end of the year and need the summer to practice this skill.

Great for beginner readers

I LOOOOOOVE this books, and my kids are reading so well because of them.

The BOB books are what kick started my daughter reading, even before Kindergarten. The self confidence they gain when they realize they read the whole book themselves in beautiful to see. Great series of books - I recommend BOB to EVERYONE with a young one who shows interest in reading!

We love the Bob book series. I wanted to next level up from beginner, and these are great. Also got a few others. Makes a great addition to our sets! She can sit a read 5 of these, and we both enjoy!

My four year old grandson is loving the BOB books. I think they're a little expensive for paperback, but it's worth it to see him read. I have 3 more grandchildren behind him. I know they will all be reading them.

I love Bob books they are wonderful great way to learn to read. My little boy has read through the first 4 and is part way through this set so far. I love them but they are a bit long which I enjoy but for my 4 year old he finds them not to be as fun with the length.

These books were in good condition and they work well.

I use these at the school I work for to teach kindergarteners to read. They are great set of books.

Great for teaching kids the basics of reading

My kids love these! Great product.

Helps simple easy fun

Although somewhat new to teaching (4th Year Full Time) I really like the Bob book series. I bought my own copy because I wanted to bring a copy to my new school. Problem is, htey liked them so much they added them to the library for 0-5 year olds. Now I need to buy them all again. I bought Set 1-5 and have used them in conjunction with flash cards to teach children to read from scratch(set 1) up to early development of phonograms and vowel sounds(sets 4 &5). i really like them and would recommend them to any parent or kindergarten teacher. p.s. I also used them as an aid in TEFOL to young students.

We love these! My son just started kindergarten, and we have used the previous set to help his confidence in reading. This set is definitely challenging but perfect for him. He loves learning new words. We love BOB books!

Great condition. These books are fantastic for beginning readers.

My daughter is learning how to read with this collection. It's really good.

I am a retired teacher and find the BOB Books to be an excellent method for teaching my 4 year old grandson to read. He loves the books and the "small steps" progression gives him early success and confidence.

Perfect collection. Thank you!

A must to help any young child learn to read and learn to love reading!

We have all the BOB books and I've taught three children to read using them. They work well, obviously. The kids like that they've read a book and got through it quickly, as each book is about 10 pages, or so.

Would have given this 5 stars if it would work on my Windows 8 Surface and Windows Phone. Worked on the PC and older iPad, though, so it was good enough.

Grandbabies loves these

My 7 year old makes great gains by reading these books. It stretches his current vocabulary by introducing easy, new sounds with clarity in the drawings.

We homeschool our boys, and we could never do it without the Bob Books. I love this one with the Long vowels, because the only Bob Books we had were for 3 letter words. Great addition to our collection.

I bought the entire set of bob books for 6 year olds learning to read. They love the simplicity of the books and having a variety in each of the sets.

Grandson loves these books. He's five years old.

Bob books are so much fun.

best books to help your child to start reading

great beginner reading books.

best learning to read series

My grandchildren love these books.

These simple books are very useful to get the kids started in reading after they know their phonics. They like them and enjoy reading this to me.

My son loves these short books. He feels very proud of himself reading these

Great beginner books. Can't seem to get enough literature in the house once your child begins to read. Keep them in good condition and pass them on.

I use all the Bob books in my preschool curriculum. They build on the skills in the one before and the children love the simple stories.

Cover art is not as pictured and odd.

we love these books have several sets. they are smaller than expected but the content is spot on!

Excellent books for my little 1st grader.

Bob books are fantastic! My son learned to read with them. I am sad that it stops here.

My 5 year old reads these to my 2 year old, they both love them. The books are short but do help teach them to read and reinforce what they have learned so far.

Very helpful in learning to read. The kids enjoy that they can read an entire book, no matter how small or short.

These books are pretty good. My son likes them better than my daughter. They are silly! I found them cheaper at Costco.

Great learning tool, kids love them!

Great books love reading w/my 7 year old grandaughter who is autistic and she get's these.

Great resource for beginning readers.

My son started reading at three because of these books. He is such an advanced reader now. He still loves his baba book as he use to call them. We has all the Bob books.

The Bob books are excellent first readers. Building confidence is key!

Excellent for teaching child to read once they have a foundation. I recommend the earlier books.

Bob Books have helped my 6 year old grandson become a great reader in no time!

Love it!

Thank you

My daughter loves to read BOB books.

Love love the Bob books after reading them with many of my nieces n nephews...I ordered all of the Bob books sets for my soon to be born grandchild's library. I highly recommend the Bob Books for every child!!!!

Love Bob Books!

Bob books are so wonderful for developing readers! Highly recommended!

Love Bob books. They are teaching my grandson to read. The price was great.

Great beginner books.

bob

Great simple book series to start reading. I live outside USA and my kids learn English as second language and this is a great way to get them started reading.

These books are affordable for home use, and daily practice for struggling readers! The stories are fun to read and re-read.

great product, quick shipping

Great

My son did well with Bob books. They offer just the right amount of challenge.

good

BOB Books are an integral part of Sustained Silent Reading in my Kindergarten class. I can't have too many BOB Books! The kids love them!

Great learning books - my sons loves reading a Bob book every night before he goes to bed.

I was a Reading teacher, and the Bob Books are excellent for teaching beginning readers phonics--short vowels first and then long vowel set.

Purchased these for my grandson, he loves the books.

My son reads a Bob's book every night. I recommend them to everyone.

My son's teacher recommended the BOB books. My son enjoyed the books.

Great

I used these books to teach my son to read! He had a head start into kindergarten and exceeded all the reading requirements for that year and is now exceeding reading requirements in first grade. if you want to give your child a good foundation use these books! the pictures help them figure out the words and every single one of bobs books made my son laugh!

Amazing stuff. My daughter absolutely loves these bob books. The seller was also excellent. We got all books in the best of conditions and new. It was a pleasant experience to buy from the seller.

Very good series of books for having success with beginning readers. My four year olds enjoy this small books.

Great learning tools!

. He was a bit lazy to read and these books actually encouraged him to read. He feels more confident and is reading more. He read four books the very first day. I love it.

These really prepared my 6 yr old for this section in school!! These really help in her learning to read! Great quality looks brand new.

My grandson is a very active 5 year old, but loves to have 5-6 books read to him every night. These books allow him to read to his parents.

Love all the Bob books...they are an amazing tool for teaching a child to read. My son, who had no interest in reading before we started using Bob books, can't wait to start each new book! Highly recommend these!!

Exactly what I expected very satisfied

These books are excellent for kids learning to read. My 4 year old loves them. It's best to complete the sets in order.

Nice presentation, very appealing for the kids! My 5 year old lives them and they encourage him to read!. I will keep buying the collection.

these books are just right.

Bob Books are designed for pre K readers. They are short and build upon the pre K's knowledge of phonics. Very good series.

The Bob Books series have been great for my homeschooled five year old. He has gone from just knowing his basic letter sounds to reading or attempting to read most everything he can get his hands on in about four months. These books were great for practice and building his confidence. I highly recommend the series.

Ideal for 4-5 year olds that are learning to read. Holds the kids' attention span as they are small books.

I absolutely love these books. my 5 year old has been able to read several of the books all the way through, what a great learning tool! These should be a must have for all schools and parents!!

Good

I love the BOB books and so do my kids. It gives them great confidence. I now have all 5 sets and can use them over and over again with each child.

Some might find the graphics to simple and spare. My kids loved these.
