Roxy Roller Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 We love the I Can Read It! books from Sonlight. http://www.sonlight.com/1R16.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2cents Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Mine used to love the 'Brand New Readers'. They were short stories that came in sets of 4 books. We used to have all of them and the girls would read them over and over again. There are a lot to choose from on Amazon. :) After that, they loved the A to Z Mysteries and Magic Treehouse chapter books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Robyn Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 All my boys have used Dr. Maggie's Phonics Readers. My middle son enjoyed Phonics Comics. My youngest son has been reading and enjoying Now I'm Reading! books. We also have one of the AAS books - The Beehive Reader - and we like it too. I believe it goes by a different name now.

jewel7123 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 The Primary Phonics reader sets are really good......they are by the same company that publishes Explode the Code. Check your library....ours have them. Otherwise they are about $20 per set. http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/easy_find?action=Search&Ntk=multiple.series&Nso=1&Ns=product.published_date&Ntt=Primary%20Phonics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnMomof7 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 We have had great success with the A Beka readers, because they are so nicely phonetically leveled! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jer2911mom Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 We use the Nora Gayos readers, too, and really like them. We also use the Merrill readers, which I like because they don't have pictures and my daughter can't guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.... Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 My oldest two kids liked the Sonlight Readers - esp. from SL Readers 1 to SL Readers 2 Adv (they get progressively harder). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudGrandma Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 we liked the All About Spelling Readers and the I See Sam books. Both of these have helped my little guy become a good reader. HOwever, I didn't know that ETC had readers....so I am looking into those right now. thanks for that information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wrote lots of notes and some of my own small stories (Mom Rocks!-- a true classic, as is Jog, Mom, Jog! :D). After the first set of Primary Phonics, my dd started reading some of the old Suess readers--Hop on Pop, Put Me in The Zoo, etc. These were fun stories and more "real." The hardest for her was A Fly Went By. A couple of months after that, she was ready for Little House in The Big Woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mothergooseof4 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Ds is currently loving Pathway Readers. He has developed a connection with the characters and actually wants to read. His fluency has really come along in the past few weeks by reader one that is slightly below his reading level. Dd is liking I See Sam.

springmama Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 My kids really like the readers we print at the Progressive Phonics. The catch is that you have to sit with the kids, because only some of the words, the ones in big bold letters, are meant for the child to read. I like this because the little stories are more entertaining than BOB books or other readers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are wonderful phonics books. My son especially liked them because there was some good "boy stuff" in there. Things like a bee stinging someone and that someone going nuts, maybe (not sure) a guy with a gun chasing an animal, general "troublesome" stuff going on. Maybe sort of like Peter Rabbit situations - the bad rabbit, the mean man chasing Peter with the rake, Peter sent to bed with no blackberries. Now all the books are not this way, but the ones that were definitely got my son laughing and wanting to read the next page to see where the trouble would take the characters.
