nancyb Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 My dd is 1/2 to 2/3 through phonics pathways and I would like to give her some "real" books to read. What do you use? Is there an existing list somewhere? Thanks, Nancy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeaganS Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Little Bear is a big hit here. My girls adore the show and I plan on having my oldest read several of the stories, with my help, next year during Kindergarten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jen in NY Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 We <3 Frog and Toad. They are some of the only really early readers my kids have all elected to keep on the shelves, taking up valuable real estate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micron4 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Check the Sonlight list--they have good recommendations for early readers. I'm able to find most at our library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem I have with looking at Sonlight, MP or others is that I don't know what is meant to be an early reader and what is meant to be a read aloud.

Mom2OandE Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 We just started using One Minute Readers with ds. They are short one page stories that are meant to reinforce fluency. So far he's doing well with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monarch Room Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 We love the HOD emerging reader set. You can find most of them easily at the library :) http://www.heartofdakota.com/emerging-reader.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mombrarian Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 My kids love Little Bear too. I didn't know there was a show! Where?! Some of the Dr. Seuss are really easy too - Green Eggs and Ham and Hop on Pop are two good ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was on air during the 90s and the first 2 seasons are on Amazon Prime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4peanuts Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 My girls used to read a lot of Henry and Mudge books, Young Cam Jansen, Cork & Fuzz, etc (These were in the leveled reader section of our library.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just google sonlight readers and it will take you right to the appropriate page. That way you don't have to wade through their website. :) We've read all of grade 1 and part of grade 2. The stories really keeps dd's interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alisoncooks Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 We love James/Edward Marshall: Fox at School, Fox on Stage, 2 By the Sea, 3 in a Tree. They're about the same reading level as Frog & Toad (which we also love). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKS Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I'd go to the library and take a look at the level 1 and 2 readers. Get a stack of them and see how she does. If she gets to a word that she doesn't know how to read yet, just give it to her and move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfeusse Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 when my little guy was ready for "big kid books" I found the readers from All About reading VERY helpful! The first set of 3 books has all words with short vowel sounds, but the books are hard bound, chapter books...just like a big kid book. I was very impressed with them. I couldn't find them used at the time, but they have a really high reslae value, so I got much of my money back when we were done. They have several other sets too...so you could find one that would fit with your child's level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only used the readers here, not the whole AAR 1 set but I liked the readers so much (and most importantly! so did my son!) that I'm going to try the whole level 2 set next fall. The pictures add so much to a simple story line and they amused us both to end lol. When my son read Bob Books, I'd literally be fighting off dozing the entire time!

Walking-Iris Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Dr Seuss!!! (those nonsense words are a great eval on how they do sounding out new words) And then after they can handle those I move on to the I Can Read classic titles. (Little Bear, Frog and Toad etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ammv15 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I am using Mcruffy readers. They are short, funny and simple unlike your usual readers.Soundcityreading.com and progressive phonics.com have free printable readers. I have also used stafall.com.
