BOB Books Rescue a Reluctant Reader
Friday, September 4th, 2009
But school has started and now she’s motivated. Now she wants to read.
We bought a set of BOB books, the first set. It was sort of a start-over point. I hate the pictures, but my daughter finds humor in them. It turns out to have been a good decision. These books have the sort of repetition of sounds and word groups that helps her recognize the words more quickly. She catchess her mistakes more quickly, she is gaining speed and confidence, she is reading with less effort and that has sparked in her quite a bit of enthusiasm for reading more. Each book in the set builds upon the one before it. So, I repented my disdain for the BOB books and I have become an ardent convert. And, best, my girl carries them around and reads them on her own.
