Bob Books: Set 2 - Advancing Beginners Box Set (12 books): 8 Books for Young Readers: 02 (Stage 2: Emerging Readers)

My son was a voracious beginner reader and school dont give him enough practice reading so we’ve been buying anything we can. These are fairly cheap and tacky but we’re after quantity not quality. Now he’s developed enough to be reading the doctor Seuss books but these were a great little cheap and cheerful stepping stone to build his confidence and now his little brother can use them while he’s learning too.

He is in P2 in Scotland. We did not get any books from school and he refuses to work at school at teacher time. I was very worried he was just not getting to practice so I bought this. They were perfect, come in sets of three on various levels of difficulty. He did not really want to try at first but since he could read easily the first page, he decided to keep going. He can fluidly read all of them now, after about a month, so i will keep looking for tte next level. I wish they had something like this at school.

I’m so impressed with these books. They are pitched at just the right level. They are short and sweet but have a cute/ funny story line. They are a quick read perfect to catch and keep the attention of my six year old son. Love them. Have bought most of them and will keep buying them. Check on eBay I might sell them on in a couple of years lol

Cute little set. Our five year old loves this series and the fact that they are simple books for her growing phonics skills.

Very great book and the author is a genius creating such a wonderful book to help children to read. I am very glad I picked up these books for my 5 year old son... I will be getting the whole collection too...

Daughter is 3 years old and has read through this many times. She's picking up more words to read

Just received the books, seem to be the right level for my 4 year old. However I was disappointed to find there is no book 10 in the box, there are two book nines instead.

Very helpful! My only gripe is it is too American and therefore a little foreign for my British daughter. But it is not a reflection on its effectiveness

I love Bob books. They have been a great tool in teaching my children how to read in English.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ 4.7 out of 5 stars Building Confident Little Readers, One Hilarious Story at a Time! "Bob Books Set 2-Advancing Beginners" is a fantastic follow-up to the beloved Bob Books series, and it’s a real game-changer for budding readers. This set of twelve delightful books continues to build essential reading skills, using three-letter words and consistent vowel sounds to create slightly longer stories that boost confidence and keep young readers engaged. One of the standout features of this set is the use of simple yet captivating illustrations. The pictures are not only fun and entertaining but also support the text, making it easier for children to decode and understand the stories. Each book is filled with hilarious and sometimes mischievous tales that keep even the youngest readers hooked. Who knew advancing reading skills could be this much fun? The stories are short and sweet, perfect for those with a budding attention span. Each one packs in drama, fun, and a dash of surprise, ensuring that interest levels stay high. As a teacher and a parent, I appreciate how these books strike the perfect balance between simplicity and engagement. They are ideal for children who are ready to take their reading skills to the next level without feeling overwhelmed. Why a 4.7 and not a perfect 5? Well, while the simplicity is fantastic for new readers, a few more complex words here and there could help bridge the gap to the next reading level. However, this is a minor suggestion in an otherwise excellent series. In conclusion, "Bob Books Set 2-Advancing Beginners" is a must-have for any child's bookshelf. These books are a wonderful tool for building reading skills and confidence, all while keeping young readers thoroughly entertained. So, if you want to see your little one’s eyes light up with each turn of the page, this set is a fantastic investment. Happy reading!

I cannot rave enough about this series. We started with the beginning readers set and my daughter has quickly advanced through several sets. The stories are entertaining and provoke questions as we go (a great way to ensure children are not only reading for sounds, but reading for meaning), and the sounds and words are perfectly scaffolded to build on previously acquired words. My daughter does not learn to read English at school at all, and has a packed schedule to boot. These are the only tools we have used to help learn to read in English and they have been so impressively effective. Highly highly recommend to all early readers as a mom and a teacher myself!

Saw a friend’s toddler reading it and decided to get for my own 4 year old. Content seems good and quite interesting. Hope it boosts his reading.

we purchased this because the first set was so good, this is a great follow up and our daughter loves to read the BOB books
