thewaka Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 What can I use with WRTR instead of the leveled readers? I cannot afford to buy them and my library doesn't seem to have them. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nansk Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 1. You can read the children's books recommended in WRTR - get them from the library. 2. You can download free, old leveled readers from Google Books - I like the Elson readers and the Free & Treadwell readers. 3. You can download the free readers from Progressive Phonics or the paid ones from Starfall.com. 4. You can read books from the kindergarten summer reading lists of good schools - get them from the library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewaka Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 Thank you! I guess I was overly concerned about how much the "official" readers matched up to the lessons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 The readers are completely optional, and are not used for the spelling lesson (which is where the dc actually learn how to read). Look for the books in the first chapter of Part Two of the manual, "Children's Literature Recommendatons." Those are the books that your dc will be able to read on their own after completing the spelling words to secton L and then section M. And if you can't find those, it will be fine. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
