Hello! When starting WTRT for the first time (for a kindergartener), should I buy the whole kit? Is it all necessary? (The writing paper is probably a bit small, for example, and the 3rd grade and above spelling/vocabulary notebook wouldn't come into play quite yet [and he'll probably join his older brother at a Classical Christian private school in 1st grade]....) Is there a more efficient way to purchase the things I need or is buying the whole kit the best way? Thanks so much for any guidance!!

Hi! Here are some of my oldest's favorites as of late (he turned six earlier this month): books by Beverly Cleary -- especially the Henry/Ribsy/Ramona ones Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle books (Betty Macdonald...I think there are five) Invention of Hugo Cabret (huge hit! Brian Selznick) Tale of Despereaux (Kate DiCamillo) The Wayside School books (Louis Sachar) Frindle (Andrew Clements) Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe (C.S. Lewis) eta: oh yeah, and Owls in the Family (Farley Mowat) and as many others were saying, books by Roald Dahl!
