Brand New Readers
There are a lot of different book series out there designed to help early readers learn how to read. This series is my ALL TIME favorite. There are so many things I love about it. I love that there is a little bit that the parents read before the book begins so that the children know what the book is going to be about and what words they are going to be looking for before they even begin reading. I love how the pictures are designed to help the child figure out the words to the story. I love how the books actually use words that beginning readers can figure out but aren’t boring and monotonous. Lastly, I love that the stories are short; early readers can get tired of reading in a hurry. Let’s face it, reading can be a lot of work when you are just learning how to put all of the pieces together. These books get them through a story that they can feel successful about reading in a short amount of time. LOVE THEM!!!

Thanks for the recommendation! Carlie is only 3 but I swear she’s so close to figuring out how to read. Maybe these will be just what she needs! They seem to have a bunch at the library — yeah!
