Created by a teacher, Bob Books have been helping children learn to read for more than forty years. These colorful flashcards based on the bestselling learn-to-read program are a fun way for children to strengthen their early phonics skills.

These colorful flashcards are the perfect companion to the Bob Books Stage 1 box sets, but can be enjoyed by any child who is just beginning to read. All words in the set are three-letter words with short vowels.
