Almost two years ago, a few education bloggers and I starting posting FREE, quality printables for the BOB Books (Sets 1 through 5). I get requests from readers quite frequently, wanting some guidance on how to use our printables with the BOB Books.

FREE Lesson Plans and Outlines for the BOB Books
For the next couple of weeks, I will be sharing free lesson outlines that feature our free BOB Books printables {most of the actual downloads have detailed lesson plans on how to use them, so be sure to click on the links to their printables}. Please note that this is the way I would use all the printables. You are by no means required to use them in the way/order that I suggest. I just want to offer it to my readers since I am asked so often.
What Will the Lesson Outlines Contain?
- For each book, I will have three days of activities (with 4-5 activities listed for each day).
- Links to FREE printables from This Reading Mama, 3 Dinosaurs, Royal Baloo, Rockabye Butterfly, Walking by the Way, and In Lieu of Preschool.
- I will also be sharing extension or extra activities and links, if you feel your child may need extra time or an extra challenge on a particular book.
- You can download and print off these lesson outlines to use at home with your child. Woohoo!
What are BOB Books?
BOB Books are decodable readers, which means the author chooses a certain phonics feature and controls the words using that feature. An example of decodable sentence might go something like, “The tan man ran to the van.” In this case, the -an word family is the phonics feature demonstrated. BOB Books start with very simple texts, like you’ll find in Set 1, as they focus on letter sounds and beginning word families. As the Sets get higher in number, the phonics features and word choices progress with the reader. Thousands of families and schools have used (and still use) BOB Books to help young readers learn basic sight words and decoding.
