Dot builds reading confidence through short stories that use three letter words and clear illustrations to ensure success. The gentle humor found in Dot's small actions rewards children for decoding every sentence. Books in this family share a strict phonetic focus, brief chapters for immediate completion, and visual cues that mirror the text.
Reach for this book when your child has just mastered their first few letter sounds and is beginning to show a curious interest in the words on a page. It is designed specifically for that magical, fleeting moment when a child transitions from being read to, to becoming a reader themselves. By providing a story they can actually finish, you are giving them the gift of pride and the identity of a 'big kid.' Part of the beloved Bob Books series, this story uses extremely simple, three-letter words and consistent vowel sounds to ensure your child feels successful. The humor is found in the simplicity: seeing Dot move and interact with her world. It is the perfect first step for building the self-confidence necessary for a lifelong love of literacy.
