FREE BOB Books Printables for Sets 1-5 from This Reading Mama

What are BOB Books?

BOB Books were created by Bobby Lynn Maslen and John Maslen. While working in a preschool, Bobby began making the books for her preschoolers to learn how to read. John Maslen, an amazing water-color painter, drew the pictures. They were first published in 1976 and have now become VERY popular among beginning readers. There are even apps for the BOB Books!

BOB Books are used by many to teach reading, even to the young child. Starting with the earliest set, phonics features and sight words are introduced slowly to make it easy for your child to pick up the book and read.

    I had a question about purchasing the Bob books. I am not just not sure where to start. My daughter knows all her letters (all uppercase, most lowercase) and about 75% of the sounds they make. We are going through your curriculum for reviewing letter sounds and learning sight words. Can you maybe tell me what set of bob books I should buy? I would love to use your affiliate link to thank you for all you have given to your readers. This is certainly one of the best literacy websites ever in my opinion!

      Thank you for your kind words. My son {the one that use Reading the Alphabet last year} is going through Set 1 this year. We’re going pretty quickly and it’s been good review for him. How far are you through Reading the Alphabet now? My Set 1 printables overlap Reading the Alphabet just a bit, so when you feel she is ready to add more, I’d say go for Set 1. 🙂

        I just now saw this reply! I must have missed in my email somehow. We are only on week 4 of your curriculum (we are taking about a week and half to go through each one) so I think i will go for set 1. Thanks for your advice!

    Knowing first hand all the time, work, and effort it takes to run a classroom, I appreciate all the more the extra time you ladies have taken to make these resources available to us. Thank you so very much!!! This answered a few prayers as to where to start with reading for my son and our homeschooling program. Thank you for sharing. All your hard work was worth it and greatly appreciated.

    YOU ARE AMAZING. Thank you so much for all your hard work. I am a student teacher at UCF and your efforts are beyond what I’ve seen in my field. I am homeschooling my daughter and am inspired by your work. My kids learned how to read with Bob Books (and Starfall). I am so pleased to see some hands-on activities to compliment them.

    Do you have a set of pintables for the Bob Books Sight Words for Kindergarten?

    My just turned 5 year old just started kindergarten. They are doing the letter of the week, but she also did that in Pre-K. I think it is a good review for her, but I she is showing more interest in learning to read on her own. I thought I would supplement her school work with your “Reading the Alphabet” curriculum, but focus more on the sight words and word families and skip your “letter only” activities (just so that she does not have 2 “letters of the week”).

    I also planned to print the corresponding books from The Measured Mom, since it looks like her books follow your “Reading the Alphabet” curriculum.

    I’m debating if I should also try to integrate the Bob sight word books … or the Set 1 Bob Books as well. I’m not sure the order that the Bob books follow, and if that might get tricky for me to organize.

    Thanks!
