Michelle My Bell Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I am trying to decide what to do after 100 EZ lessons for my daughter. She is nearly done. We also do explode the code, but I am thinking she needs some actual reading practice. If you recommend going straight into books, which ones? Thanks!

daisychics Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I used Ordinary Parent's Guide to Teaching Reading by Jessie Wise Bauer. I skipped half of the book and worked on the harder words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIch elle Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I had all the sets from Bob Books. We love the CLE readers. We used CLE reader 1 in grade 2. We also used the Hooked On Phonics readers from the library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beach Mom Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 We used some of the books listed in the back of 100 EZ lessons , Bob books, lots of easy reader books from the library and then we moved to some of the books listed in VP First Favorites such as Caps for Sale, If you give a Mouse a cookie, Blueberries for Sal, Harry the Dirty Dog. This progression has really built reading confidence and comprehension for my DS. It is such fun to share with them as they build their love of reading. We also did lots of shared reading as we started books (I read a page then he read a page) so he didn't get frustrated. Enjoy this special time with your child!

lydiasmommy Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I used Phonics Pathways plus lots and lots of library books to build up her fluency. Phonics Pathways is boring, IMO, but it really helped develop DD's phonics skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inashoe Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 We just went into reading books. My kids loved reading the Dr Seuss books - such as green eggs and ham. Sonlight has lists of easy readers in their catalog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tess in the Burbs Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 we did OPG with both kids after 100EL....skipped the sounds section and went on to the phonics rules. also had them reading daily...pathway readers were a great bridge to reading whatever they wanted.

Plucky Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 We started with Bob books, went to I Can Read it! books (Sonlight sells this), and then the fox ones and owl books. Then we went to Magic Treehouse books and The Boxcar Children. Some find Magic Treehouse to be twaddle, but I find it a good stepping stone for some kids. I want my kids to like reading and enjoy it. Too many dry readers can make reading a chore. I try to bait the hook and it's worked marvelously. All my kids read voraciously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amsunshine Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 We did all of the Bob books, then went to simple Dr. Seuss and P.D. Eastman (such as Go, Dog, Go, and One Fish, Two Fish, etc.). We also did the Elson Primer and Free and Treadwell First Reader. Then, Little Bear and Syd Hoff books (the Syd Hoff books are so cute and funny -- they had my dd giggling and then asking for more "Hoff books"). After that, books like Frog and Toad, Owl at Home, Uncle Elephant, and the Henry and Mudge books were great. I've heard the George and Martha books are also cute, but I couldn't find them at our library or local bookstores, so I never got around to those. After that, we went through the Amelia Bedelias and Cam Jansen stories. Then, my dd and I "buddy read" the first Magic Treehouse book, and that was it. My little reader became a "voracious" reader -- she devoured every Magic Treehouse book she could get her hands on, and now spends 30-60 minutes a day reading. (Boxcar children, American Girl books, Jenny and the Cat Club, Princess Ellie series, Meg Mackintosh series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in Neverland Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 We use the readers from Reading A-Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muffinmom Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 We used McRuffy's Press http://www.mcruffy.com/SEAnnouncement.htm and it's been a smooth transition. We've loved it. We went from 100 EZ lessons to the first grade curric. But they have a K version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
