BOB Books are AMAZING!

I'm literally not being paid to say this. But I just want to share. I've been working very hard with my 4 year old to teach him how to read. My husband has been working on addition and subtraction with poker chips and he loves it. He thinks it's a game. But it has always been a chore to him to read. Despite that, I have insisted since age 3.5 that we do reading "lessons" at least 15 mins a day.

I started with a really great book called "Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons." I used that to teach him all letter sounds and the basic process of blending words. We didn't get through the entire book (maybe the first 30ish lessons) but by the end he could read "The cat is in his lap" or a sentence of equal difficulty.

But he hated reading and it was still a chore. But I recently found BOB books and it has been a total gamechanger. I think my son (who is autistic like me but also probably ADHD like my husband) was bored by reading having no "purpose." I used to have him read sentences but there was no story and therefore no point outside of him practicing.

But he's so excited to have books on his level that he can read from front to cover. He likes the humor in the stories and he definitely feels very confident and proud of himself.

Tonight I had to literally put my foot down and say, "This is the last book!! We'll read more tomorrow. We've got to go to bed!" after he read 6 in a row...

I never in my wildest dreams thought I'd have to say, "Bud, we gotta stop reading" to my 4 year old.

So yeah I'm super excited!! And I highly recommend!
