Rhyming makes reading more fun! Each story in this phonics-based box set explores a different rhyming word family. Listening for and identifying rhyming words is an important early reading activity because it trains a child’s ear to hear the differences and similarities in how words sound. The repetition of rhyming sounds in these silly stories helps early readers sound out the one-syllable words. This collection is a great companion to Bob Books Beginning Readers and Bob Books First Stories.
In this collection you’ll find:
- 10 easy-to-read, hilarious stories: 12 pages each, 15-23 unique words per story
- A parent guide with tips for helping your child learn to read
Each story includes:
- A new rhyming word family (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)
