goldenecho Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Does anyone know of any other good easy reader books with speech bubbles, like Piggie and Elephant? Could be comic books...could be books that had a script with two parts (like a play). The main thing is that the child I'm working with really likes the back and forth where I read some and she reads some. I'd LOVE to find leveled readers like this too!

HomeAgain Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 The We Both Read series is great. No speech bubbles, really, though. Just a few sprinkled throughout. You also might like Toon Books. They come in leveled readers and there are quite a few of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Tick Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Progressive Phonics had some you-read I-read components. It was a free resource that you printed, so you could check and see if there is anything that would be useful for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasulliva Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 The Narwhal and Jelly books might work. When my son first started reading, he liked the Fly Guy books, and he'd read Fly Guy's parts (mostly "buzzzzz" 🙄) while I'd read everything else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lecka Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 They had some readers theaters books at the library, I think from Scholastic. You could take more than one part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Progressive Phonics and it worked really well with my son, but the child I'm tutoring now did not like those, unfortunately. Getting to take turns was motivating for her...but it was the dialogue aspect and getting to play a part that I think was motivating to her specifically. I'm thinking readers theater type things might work too. Edited August 25, 2019 by goldenecho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moncha Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Usborne Very First Reading books are like this. My son enjoys them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caffeineandbooks Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 We also have the Usborne Very First Reading series. It was a handy supplement in the early stages when the amount they can decode is so limited. In the first seven books, each page has some regular text intended for the grown up to read and some simpler, large print text for the child. To give you an idea of level, the opening spread of book 1 "Pirate Pat" has the adult read, "The night was cold, the sky was black, the window rattled..." and the child reads "tap tap tap". It ramps up pretty quickly though, and by book 8 "Moon Zoom" the child is reading all of it. Sample first page: "The moon is bright tonight. The attic fills with silver light. Jack cannot sleep." There are 15 leveled books in our box set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumto2 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Pathway Readers does the back and forth for the first year, maybe first two years. https://www.rainbowresource.com/prodlist?subject=Reading+%2F+Literature/6&category=Pathway Reading/925 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
