amyrjoy Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 My Ker is loving the Pathway Readers..he is actually reading the first grade ones and TAKES THEM TO BED to read! I couldn't believe it when he first started doing that! And he's been recently asking me for more books like this. He suggested that I find the next book, "Even More Days Go By." :lol: Are there any readers out there that are similar? He didn't like the look of Rod and Staff readers. I showed him the Benji readers (online) and I may try to find those, but he REALLY loves Days Go By and More Days Go By!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puma Mom Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Pathway Readers go up through 8th grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cindie2dds Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Pathway Readers go up through 8th grade. Yep, we're almost through 2nd grade now. My youngest loves listening to her big sis read aloud about Peter and Rachel. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyrjoy Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 I guess I should clarify my question..he wants to read MORE books like these ones (at a first grade level), and I don't know where to look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowWhite Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 CLE is more like Pathway than Rod and Staff. (Christian Light Education). Have you tried the Dick and Jane series? My library even has those, and I have seen them at Cracker Barrel. They aren't Amish but old fashioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowfall Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I have the 2nd grade books and I think if he completed the 1st grade books he should have no problem going through Busy Times and More Busy Times. Climbing Higher might be a little too difficult, but I don't know your son, so perhaps not. I definitely know that my daughter, who is just finishing More Days Go By, can read Busy Times. She's not an advanced reader, and has actually struggled a bit, so she's probably about on par with your son, just going on the fact that he's reading these books. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowperch Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 My children, and especially my daughter, loved these as well, and we never really did find anything like them. Your son might enjoy the Billy and Blaze books. These are much shorter but they are a series about a boy and his horse and are quite lovely. Also not quite as great but still good for this level: Tomie DePaola's 26 Fairmount Avenue series. I agree that the books are perfectly paced and kids seem ready for each one as they complete the preceeding book. But there should be more!!!

Susie in MS Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I know you said your ds didn't like the R&S readers, but did he look at the God is Good Series? If you go here: http://www.rodandstaffbooks.com/item/1-2250/?list=Storybooks_Preschool-Age_7 You can see samples if you click on each book.

Chris in VA Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Just wanted to say I remember my early reading days in school. I SO wanted the adventures of Mary, Mike and Jeff to continue. I was heartbroken to leave the reader series! Kinda know how he feels. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenninMN Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I 2nd the Dick & Jane suggestion. Also, there was a Ginn series of readers that we read. I have sets of first and second grade if you need titles. Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
