Bob Books came about as a result of teacher Bobby Lynn Maslen’s careful attention to the specific needs of children learning to read for the very first time.Bob Books went on to become a Children’s Book-of-the-Month-Club selection, and the series was adopted by homeschoolers and Montessori teachers. Our award-winning beginning reader book sets start slowly and progress from books with three letter words, to books with more than one sentence per page.
Articles recommending Bob Books appeared in The Washington Post, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and regional newspapers and magazines around the country. She named the dolls Mat and Sam and spun stories about them, illustrated with line drawings that the children could copy and color. Bob Books is a true first reader series, designed to make helping your child learn to read simple and straightforward. As a teacher, Bobby’s work with 3 to 5 year-olds involved constant invention in art, math games, physical growth activities and, of course, reading materials. Soon it became too cumbersome to make books for each student, so Maslen standardized the set and persuaded her school to print 300 copies.
The reviewer said, “With few words per page and plenty of repetitive vocabulary, these slender books give new readers a sense of success and reinforce the idea of can-do. Bob Books was designed to give young children the tools to cross from learning letters to reading words. Her experience tackling the fun, bonding and sometimes complex task of helping her child learn to read, showed her that Bob Books really work. Because we meet children at the right level, parents are often amazed at how quickly their child is able to sound out words when reading their first Bob Book.
When she didn’t find books that she felt were the right fit for her young students, she created Bob Books. Today, all five sets of Bob Books written by Bobby Maslen are available to children all over the world, thanks to the partnership that was developed with Scholastic. The books had entered the spotlight, and parents eager to help their children learn to read wanted Bob Books. From a small Desk Calendar to a large, visually-stunning A2 Calendar - there’s a format to fit your space and your photos. The clean layout, short words, and simple phonics make learning to read a fun and natural step for a child that knows the alphabet.Lynn Maslen Kertell has been involved with Bob Books right from the beginning, starting with the first edition in the 1970s.
Portland State University published the books for several years, and word began to spread, leading to self-publishing and a cottage industry. From the kitchen to the living room, a wall calendar can be a meaningful piece of décor in your home.
