Jumping In Puddles Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Books such as Frog and Toad, Mouse Tales, Frances, etc. My kids enjoy when I read to them but I notice on the Frog and Toad cover, it says Reading Level 2 so does that meant that it is really meant for the child to read? TIA! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneC Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Some of the books that I do as read-alouds my dd takes away to read to herself. These are books that she wouldn't pick up on her own but she will read them if she has already heard them. This is a child that likes to read her favourite books tens of times though.

My kids don't know how to read yet but I think they would like the stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwenny Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 My dd 5.5 years old just started to read Frog and Toad and Mouse Tales. We own both and had read them to her many times before because she loves them. When she got to the point where she was ready to read these books independently, I think knowing the story already really helped her to be able to read them more successfully. It gives her a little ego boost to read a book that I once had to read to her. She doesn't see it as a "baby book" like many of the beginning readers. I don't see any reason why you should have to save them for later. Let them enjoy them now and then again independently later.

Alessandra Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 These are such great, well-written books -- classic read-alouds, IMO. You can also get audio cds of (some/most/all of?) these. I have such happy memories of reading them aloud -- I'd hate to have "saved" them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
