Bob Books: Set 4 Complex Words continues with our incremental introduction of phonics and sight words. With careful pacing, we introduce more blends, more sight words and longer words. Even though stories are longer, the simple narrative and design help children focus their skills on decoding and sight words. The delightful illustrations and humor help keep young readers engaged with the more challenging material. Inside the box you'll find: 8 easy-to-read books, 16-24 pages each Many four and five letter words (one syllable). Many consonant blends (such as nd, sn, st, ck) A few vowel combinations (such as ou, ee, oo) Up to 150 words per book ABOUT BOBS BOOKS Bob Books is America's no.1, award-winning, learning-to-read series trusted for over 40 years. Bob Books is a true first reader series, designed to make helping children learn to read simple and straightforward. The clean layout, short words, and simple phonics make learning to read a fun and natural step for a child that knows the alphabet. Companion workbooks extend children's reading journey by allowing them to practice the skills learned in the books. Bob Books is designed to give young children the tools to cross from learning letters to reading words. The 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. By meeting 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 . Bob Books covers four reading stages... Pre-Readings Skills Recognize shapes, patterns, and other pre-reading skills Stage 1: Starting to Read From learning the alphabet to sounding out your first words Stage 2: Emerging Readers Sentences become longer and sight words are introduced Stage 3: Developing Readers Words and sentences become longer, and new rules are introduced Review: Bob Books Set 4: Complex Words - I bought this for my (almost) 5yrs old daughter who has started reading. We do not homeschool but, were looking for education supplements. These are the titles of the 8 books: Ten Men Bump! Cat and Mouse The Swimmers Samantha Willy's Wish Jumper and the Clown Max and the Tom Cats It also has a Teaching guide. Review: Good set for early readers - Wonderful set for very early readers, but there were two books no. 7 in the box instead one 7 and one 8.. Looks like that happens often. For the price I would expected to happened less often.. but my child enjoys it so much, improved a lot so worth it! ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 257,765 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 394 in Reading Skills Reference 732 in Children's Early Learning Books on the Alphabet 888 in English Literacy | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,825 Reviews | ## Images ![Bob Books - Complex Words Box Set Phonics, Ages 4 and Up, Kindergarten, First Grade (Stage 3: Developing Reader): 04 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61gYdzf8CcL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bob Books Set 4: Complex Words *by J***S on 16 May 2013* I bought this for my (almost) 5yrs old daughter who has started reading.

Looks like that happens often.

You HAVE to have this. *by F***. on 30 September 2021* I'm an American with a Japanese life and my 7 year old son was born and raised here in Japan. I've bought a lot of English study materials, and the Bob Book series has been uniformly excellent in every way. 100% recommend. Note that my kid at least wasn't self-directed enough to study by himself, except a few days he sat down to read the Bob Books. Instead, we had a mini "English Class" about an hour a day and worked through this material. ## Frequently Bought Together - Bob Books Set 4 - Complex Words - Bob Books Set 3- Word Families - Bob Books: Sight Words, 1st Grade --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/47908916-bob-books-complex-words-box-set-phonics-ages-4-up](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/47908916-bob-books-complex-words-box-set-phonics-ages-4-up) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
