Usborne Books has just released the most amazing set of Beginning Readers. These are available in a boxed set of 15 books and a parent guide. These books are for children who are just beginning to learn to read, or are just struggling along. It offers the appeal of imaginative rhyming stories and irresistible illustrations. The support of a well-researched framework and the enjoyment of shared reading with an adult.
Just starting out - Books 1-7:
In the first seven books, adult and child take turns reading with the child's share becoming gradually more challenging in each book. These books cover material that is normally taught during a child's first year of school.
Be sure to give your child time to progress from one book to the next. Re-reading helps to build a child's confidence and fluency. There is also a website available that offers puzzles, games, and other activities directly connected to the stories to further practice reading skills.
