Customer Reviews

Great Beginning Reader - a review of "My Pal Al"

The `Real Kids Readers' are very good for 'real' beginning readers. The Level 1 books actually have simple, short sentences which are presented in large easy type. The word selection, as well, is very good for beginners. Words in this book include: fur, red, small, big, likes, sit, up, bed, fat, flat, skip, hop, and the like. The photos are where the series really shines however. The pictures of real children are simply mesmerizing for kids. The only drawback is that some of the stories are ultra simple. This means that they may not appeal to children that are used to being read more sophisticated material. My own daughter, 5 when we started reading these, read the books for practice, but really didn't care all that much for some of the stories. However, this is one of the books she did like. Four Stars. This book has a lovely story about a girl and her bunny pal, Al. It is a great beginning reader with fun pictures of Al the bunny.

My Pal, Al (Real Kids Readers, Level 1)

I am a homeschooling mom and was so thrilled to find this series! Once your child has mastered three-letter words and some sight words, they can begin with Real Kids Readers. My daughter was ecstatic to say, "Mom, I read a whole book myself!" for the first time with My Pal, Al. In the story, a young girl describes her best pal, a stuffed rabbit, and all the fun they have together. The photos are bright and cheery, without giving too many hints to the text. This has the feel of a real book and has a story line that won't insult your 5-7 yr. old's intelligence. No "See Jane run!" here! We love this book and all in the series.

Great for beginning readers

My son is a beginning reader and loves this story. I've purchaed others in the series because of this books modern appearance and good sense of humor. Nice choice.
