Turn a listener into a reader

My daughter has recently been very interested in reading. She's always loved being read to and was very content with that. She just turned 4 and suddenly it became her life's purpose to read. So she picked out this set and Mouse Has Fun at the bookstore. We went home, followed the instructions, and that night she "read" all 8 books to me. It's been about a week and now she can tell me which word is which on the page. She announced to me last night, "Mommy! I'm a reader now! Just like a big kid!" These books made her successful from the very start. I'm so impressed that I just ordered 8 more sets from here!

For the pre-reader and new reader.

This book is a delight to share with any child from age 2 through experienced readers of 6 or seven. Wonderful illustrations cover about 80% of the page and show exactly what the very large print words say on the bottom 20% of the page. So, you can have fun sharing this book with a 2 year old and talk about the pictures. The book also uses concepts such as over and under, etc. Threes and fours can start connecting the pictures to the words. New readers of 4 to 7 years old will have great success with the short, 3 to 6 word sentences, and many visual clues in the illustrations. This is one of the best easy reader series I've seen in a long time. I'll be recommending it to the children and parents in the library where I work. I am also getting my own copies to share with my 2 year old grandson.
