For Beginning Readers
|
|
The Bob Books are small phonetic books with simple black-line illustrations.
Children in my classroom have enjoyed reading them and hand copying
them to make their own books. They are just right for the emerging
reader, to help build speed and confidence.

For Parents
|
|
I've recommended this book to parents for many years. It is full
of activities and advice to make your home a wonderful learning
environment for your children. It is well-illustrated and covers
subjects such as dressing oneself to writing, math, geography, cooking
and gardening. The instructions for the jacket flip on page 21 is
worth the price of the book.

This book is full of great ideas to promote hands-on literacy with your child.
