Titles in This Set: BOB Books: First Stories (12 mini-books, Levels A-C) BOB Books: Rhyming Words (10 mini-books, Levels B-D) Condition: New Format: Paperback ISBN: 9780545879095 Publisher: Scholastic Age Range: Ages 3-5 Overview: BOB Books Collection 6 brings together two beloved emerging-reader sets, First Stories and Rhyming Words, in one paperback box set from bestselling children's author Lynn Maslen Kertell. Across 22 bite-sized books and 260 pages, children progress through Graded Reading Levels A to D, building phonics skills, sight-word recognition and confidence one short, silly story at a time. Bundled with a parent guide, puzzle flashcards, stickers, a bookmark and a doorknob hanger, it's a complete, ready-to-go early literacy toolkit for home or the classroom, ideal for parents and teachers guiding a child's very first steps into independent reading. About the Books: Collection 6 pairs two of the most trusted names in early reading. First Stories includes twelve tiny, twelve-page books that ease children from Level A through Level D, using controlled vocabulary, heavy repetition and just a handful of unique words per story so new readers can decode with real independence. Friendly characters and gently silly plots keep the pace light and the pages turning, while short vowel sounds and three- and four-letter words reinforce foundational phonics without ever feeling like a lesson. Rhyming Words then builds on that confidence with ten more twelve-page stories, each centred on a new rhyming word family, so children start to spot patterns in language and predict words as they read. Every book in both sets follows the same friendly formula: simple sentences, consistent illustrations that support the text, and a satisfying, funny pay-off on the final page. Because the stories are sequenced so carefully, a child who finishes one mini-book feels an immediate sense of achievement and is naturally pulled on to the next, making this box set ideal for daily reading practice, holiday catch-up, or as a first "big kid" set of proper books to call their own. The included parent guide explains exactly how to use the graded levels at home, while the stickers, bookmark and flashcards turn practice sessions into a rewarded, game-like routine rather than a chore. Key Benefits: 22 short paperback stories across two classic BOB Books sets - First Stories and Rhyming Words. Graded Reading Levels A to D give a clear, confidence-building path for ages 3-5. Comes complete with a parent guide, 40 puzzle flashcards, stickers, bookmark and doorknob hanger. Repetition, short vowels and simple sentences make phonics practice feel like play. Compact, durable mini-books are perfect for little hands and on-the-go reading. A trusted go-to gift for parents, grandparents and teachers of new readers.
