Bob Books - Advancing Beginners Hardcover Bind-Up Phonics, Ages 4 and Up, Kindergarten (Stage 2: Emerging Reader)

Bob Books Advancing Beginners builds on the skills learned in the Bob Books Stage 1 sets. These twelve stories are slightly longer while still using three-letter words and consistent short vowel sounds. This develops the confidence of young readers and helps ensure that they master basic phonics before moving on to more complex skills. Kids love the fun, drama, and surprise in these stories and pictures!

Inside this sturdy hardcover you'll find:

• 12 easy-to-read, hilarious stories: 16 pages each, 17-41 unique words per story
• A parent guide with tips for helping your child learn to read

Each story includes:

• Decodable text: Three-letter words with short vowels that can be sounded out (big, sun, cap)
• Simple sentences (Pop had a top hat.)
• Limited sight words (a, the, was)
• Slightly longer stories than in the Stage 1 sets, which helps build reading endurance
• A word list at the back of each book
• Friendly, simple illustrations that add fun and do not distract from the words
