Created by a teacher, Bob Books have been helping children learn to read for more than forty years! This fun set of easy-to-read, decodable stories focuses on rhyming words -- perfect for beginning readers. Rhyming makes reading more fun!

Inside the box you’ll find: 10 small, hilarious, easy-to-read books: 12 pages each, 15-23 unique words per book, sized perfectly for little hands - 40 rhyming word puzzle cards to practice with - A parent guide with tips for helping your child learn to read Each book includes: A new rhyming word family in every book (AN: can, Dan, fan, plan, ran) - Decodable text: three- and four-letter rhyming words with short vowels that can be sounded out - Simple sentences (The red sled sped.) - Limited sight words (a, now, for) - Friendly, simple illustrations that add fun and do not distract from the words Guided Reading Levels: C, D, E
