Designed for children who have mastered short-vowel, consonant-blend words, this set introduces long vowel sounds and the silent \"e\" rule through eight short, decodable paperback stories. With playful illustrations and gently increasing text length, it helps young readers build fluency, confidence and independence as they move toward chapter books.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBob Books were created more than forty years ago by preschool teacher Bobby Lynn Maslen, who developed the series in the classroom to help her students crack the code of reading. Set 5: Long Vowels is the next step after earlier Bob Books stages, introducing long vowel sounds, the silent \"e\", blends such as qu, tr and ng, the digraph ch, and vowel teams including ou, ai, oo, ee, ea and ie. Each of the eight stories runs to roughly 16-24 pages, giving developing readers a longer, more satisfying read while keeping vocabulary controlled and success achievable on every page. Simple black-and-white illustrations keep the focus on the words themselves, encouraging children to sound out text rather than guess from pictures. Bob Books is one of America's most trusted early-reading series, used by parents, teachers and reading specialists alike, and this set is a natural next step for children ready to tackle more advanced decoding. The gentle, systematic, phonics-first progression means children are never asked to guess at a sound they haven't already been taught, keeping frustration low and motivation high.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduces long vowel sounds and the silent \"e\" rule in a systematic, decodable way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEight short paperback stories build reading stamina beyond earlier Bob Books stages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimple, uncluttered illustrations keep the focus on phonics and decoding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal follow-on for children who have completed earlier Bob Books stages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for kindergarten and first-grade classrooms, homeschool or bedtime reading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact boxed set is easy for small hands to hold and store\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBobby Lynn Maslen was a preschool teacher who created the original Bob Books in the 1970s to help her own students learn to read, hand-lettering and illustrating the very first stories herself. Her simple, phonics-first approach was refined through years of real classroom testing and has since grown into one of the most widely used early-reading series in the United States. Bob Books is now managed by Lynn Maslen Kertell, who has continued to expand the series with new titles and workbooks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy You'll Love This Set\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA trusted, teacher-designed phonics programme that turns nervous beginner readers into confident ones, one short decodable story at a time - perfect for kindergarten and first-grade learners ready to tackle long vowels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease Note: Cover design may vary slightly from the image shown; this listing reflects the UK edition\/ISBN as supplied.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bobby Lynn Maslen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56478074569086,"sku":"PLD20503","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0642\/4549\/8093\/files\/bob-books-set-5-long-vowels-box-set-paperback-front.jpg?v=1784396795","url":"https:\/\/www.letsbuybooks.com\/products\/bob-books-set-5-long-vowels-box-set-ages-4-7-paperback","provider":"Lets Buy Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
