coloradomomof5 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Does anyone have a list of readers that would correspond with the ordinary parents guide to teaching reading? I know it's supposed to stand alone but sometimes we need a break or to reinforce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommysanders Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 We use BOB books, then started on any basic easy reader. We just waited until we felt DS could do the reader, then we would pull it off the shelf. I know that's not exactly what you're looking for, but it's what we did. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misty.warden Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) I used primarily the BOB books and supplemented with Phonics Practice Readers (our library has each set bound into one book: short vowels, long vowels, blends, and digraphs) so I just browsed ahead to which one corresponded to the lesson. Beyond those, I haven't found any young readers available at our library that are arranged in any order of progression, even some of the Level 1 labelled readers have complicated vocabulary (DK Star Wars themed ones were notorious for this which frustrated me). DS *hated* the sentences in OPGTR, he would do the word lists but thought the practice sentences were so boring he couldn't focus. Edit: I originally confused "Pathways" with "Practice" Edited April 8, 2016 by misty.warden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReadingMama1214 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 We've used the BOB books. Progressive Phonics books. Nora Gaydos Now I'm Reading books. I've also written books for DD. Usually similar amount of words to BOB books and then she can illustrate them. I also don't use the OPGTR sentences. I write my own and insert my daughters name. We're currently taking a break from OPGTR and doing just Bob books and phonics games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondchen Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I haven't seen a list for OPGTR. We used BOB books as a supplement the first time through, but I couldn't bring myself to use them with DD2 - they are SO boring. Ugh. Instead, I used "real" books with a simple reading level (like Dr. Seuss or PD Eastman) and we would read through them, taking turns. I would prompt DD to read the words she was ready to sound out herself, and I would fill in the rest. As she progressed, she could read more and more of the text, and she loved it. It was a fun and engaging way to practice reading without the mind-numbing tedium of simple readers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapper4life Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 What are the Phonics Pathway readers? I can only find the main curriculum book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReadingMama1214 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 We also do a lot of buddy reading. I read the harder words and my daughter reads the words she is able to. We do this with any book from picture to chapter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domestic_engineer Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 While there aren't any readers officially tailored for use with OPGTR, I'd use some of these books to supplement the early lessons: Bob books (for the very beginning reader - mostly to build their confidence of reading "a WHOLE ENTIRE book by yourself!!!!") Anything by Nora Gaydos Reading Pathways (although they are meant to supplement Phonics Pathways) Mo Willem's Elephant & Piggie books (need to buddy read with this) Mo Willem's Cat books Brian Cleary's Sound LIke Reading series of books I would assume that the AAR readers would be good too - but I've never seen them.

ReadingMama1214 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Yes to Elephant and Piggie! We buddy read those as well. My daughter also loves Fly Guy and Henry and Mudge books that we buddy read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeachyDoodle Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 DS has really enjoyed the Progressive Phonics readers. They're popcorn style, so I read the regular type and he reads the big, colored words. Most of the stories are short and funny. I've had a hard time finding beginning readers at the library that aren't whole language-based. PP fits fairly well with OPG; in fact, he's moving faster in PP and we're going back and filling in the gaps using OPG as more of a supplement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
