ChristusG Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 DD7 is starting to read easy books (finally! :hurray:). She loves the Step Into Reading books. Right now we're on the Level 1's. I think she likes these books because she recognizes the characters (Barbie, Strawberry Shortcake, Biscuit the dog, Cars, etc). But they are like $4 each at WalMart and Target.....for a little book. Are there other types of readers for cheaper? We have printed some of the I Am Sam books but she really doesn't care for those. And we do read Dr Seuss as well, and she seems to like those pretty well. Bob books seem sort of boring to her. I'm checking eBay for lots of the Step Into Reading books so that's a possibility too.

RahRah Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Amazon usually has them in their 4 for 3 special....so that's 25% off the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 The library? Seriously. But also used bookstores and yard sales? Most of them are so...boring I just don't think they're worth spending much money on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissel Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 The library? Seriously. But also used bookstores and yard sales? Most of them are so...boring I just don't think they're worth spending much money on. I agree that I wouldn't spend money on them if I could help it--IME, they don't have a whole lot of staying power. But if you really want to buy, I've seen good deals for lots on eBay. Library book sales always seem to have a ton too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mytwomonkeys Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 i like the free mcguffey readers. they aren't like step into reading (they aren't based on topic), but they do progress in difficulty, so they've been a big hit here. i also like the treadwell readers. those are free too. hth.

Meriwether Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I've picked up hundreds of these at garage sales for a quarter or fifty cents. You can buy lots on ebay for about $1/book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristusG Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 Looks like I'll have to check out Goodwill and the Salvation Army tomorrow! I'd rather purchase quite a few and have them on hand since they will be going through 3 kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I've been getting a lot of easy readers at the Scholastic Warehouse sales or through their book clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepymommy Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Also check your local Friends of the Library book sale. I picked up so many there for ds there. Costco also has good prices on bundled sets of easy readers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
