Created by a teacher, Bob books have been helping children learn to read for more than forty years! Practice letters and their sounds, increase vocabulary, and enjoy short stories in this colorful picture dictionary from the bestselling Bob Books learn-to-read program! This dictionary grows with your child from toddlerhood to the early elementary years. It can be enjoyed by families who are new to Bob Books as well as families who are already enjoying My First Bob Books or the Bob Books decodable book box sets.
- Content is arranged to boost kids' early phonics skills. Each letter of the alphabet has its own section. Vowels have two sections each -- one for the short vowel sound and one for the long vowel sound.
- A bonus section at the back includes words with common digraph sounds such as ch and sh; sight words (high-frequency words); everyday words such as days of the week and colors; and simple definitions of nouns, verbs, and adjectives.
- Read-aloud stories throughout act as review and add to the fun!
- Full-color, playful art makes this book appealing to even the youngest children. Increase toddlers' vocabulary by pointing to pictures and having your child say the words.
- Fun facts and tongue twisters throughout add interest for early elementary kids.
- A range of words to learn and read allows kids to interact with the book differently as they grow. Encourage your child to find words they can read independently as their reading skills develop.
- A parent guide helps families get the most out of the dictionary.
Develops these early literacy skills:
- Vocabulary
- Symbol (letter) recognition
- Phonological awareness (phonics sound-awareness skills such as identifying the beginning sound in a word)
- Early decoding skills (sounding out of words)
- Fine motor skills including hand-eye coordination
- Visual discrimination
With playful stories, silly illustrations, and a phonics approach based on Science of Reading research, Bob Books prepare children to learn to read and then keep young readers' confidence high, leading to continued success and a love of reading. Your child will soon join the millions of happy kids who say, I read the whole book!(R)
