First Little Readers Parent Pack: Guided Reading Level B: 25 Irresistible Books That Are Just the Right Level for Beginning Readers

Bought these to read with my 3 year old daughter to get her on her path to reading. 25 small books. Each book is about 6 pages long and contains one 6 to 8 word sentence and a graphic on each page. The sentences are simple and key words are often repeated throughout the pages. Simple enough to get them to memorize and or predict the words on the page without them actually physically reading the actual words. Recognition is a good first step to reading the actual words these books do a good job of fostering that.I admittedly was apprehensive when I opened the first book because they are so simple. I thought "I could make these myself" but they are working well and my daughter enjoys reading them with me.

Amazing book series! Helps my son read every day!!! Great stories, wonderful illustrations, my son is only 5 years old but blasted through this like it was nothing, building his confidence!

I purchased these. Ok for my new reader. He is in Kindergarten and he’s doing great with them. They aren’t too easy and they keep him thinking about the story. Buy them! You can’t Go Wrong. And the Box they come in is nice and sturdy, perfect for on the go or on the bookshelf.

This is a great product. I bought it for my grandson who is autistic and is way behind in his reading in school. He loves the books. They are simple enough for him to read and understand. We started by reading one a day right before bed, before I knew it he was wanting to read three a night. I am going to buy the next set up when I feel he is ready.

Prefect little books for beginner readers. These stories are very short and keeps your little focused for just the right amount of time. My daughter has learned a lot of works from reading these books. She started with A and is now reading the B books.

A nice addition to my classroom library

Perfect for the kiddos who are learning how to read ! .. this improved my 6 year old reading within 2 months

I ordered all 3 sets of these books for my Kindergartner. He already recognizes a bunch of sight words and I wanted to get a great collection of books that would give him lots of practice and lots of success! I taught reading enrichment classes to early readers for ~9 years, so I knew what I was looking for; these are perfect for getting a youngster started!Another reviewer complained that the sets did not differ in difficulty from A to B to C, but I have to disagree. In my picture, a book from set A is at the top, set B in the middle, and set C at the bottom. All three are alike in their simple sentence structure, but there are key differences. Set A books use a very short sentence, usually with only one word changing per page. This lets the child read independently, recognizing the pattern and using visual clues to figure out unknown words, thereby experiencing a lot of success and feeling pride in their reading skills. Set B uses slightly longer sentences or even two sentences per page, and the words that change frequently have more syllables. The pictures still help with figuring it out, though, so your child can move through the text comfortably, learning to not be intimidated by long words (very important!). Set C books seem to focus on words that have challenging phonics elements (like "grew" -- not an easy word to sound out until you've learned that digraph, which usually happens sometime in mid 1st grade) or longer and more diverse sentences with multi-syllabic words. Don't get me wrong; these books are little half steps in the reading process and are all early-mid Kindergarten level, but in setting up your child for success -- giving them confidence and the willingness to try -- these early experiences are crucial! I am very pleased with the purchase and am excited for my kid to try them.P.S. Other people reported getting some duplicates in their boxes; I did not. Seems to be random. Perhaps if you get a duplicate the seller could send you the right one.Customer image
