Amazing preschool/ early reader story and activity book: Three letter sight word story and activity book

Shilpa Thotli, Harish Thotli

Come let's run to the hill with Leo and spend a beautiful sunny day with him and his pal Tim. Have you observed that the majority of preschool and early reader books follow the technique of teaching random three-letter words, initial words, and phrases? Random words and sentences do not instill a love of reading in children. This is why we wanted to give the little early readers a bit more flavor, so we made storybooks with three-letter words. Reading a storybook instead of some random words can offer children more excitement and provide their preschool learning a much-needed boost. Our goal is to not only provide an immersive reading experience for the children through a delicate storyline and bright illustrations but also to involve them in the process. We want kids to think about and participate in the story. This is why we've included coloring pages and other interactive activities, as well as worksheets where kids can test their memory and reading skills, and a section where they'll be asked a few questions about themselves in line with the story so they can express their thoughts. All of our books have been created with the goal of being the best preschool or beginning readers books available. Why spend time teaching your children only phonics and first words when they can read entire books?

The Early Reader in Children’s Literature and Culture

Theorizing Books for Beginning Readers

Jennifer Miskec, Annette Wannamaker

This is the first volume to consider the popular literary category of Early Readers – books written and designed for children who are just beginning to read independently. It argues that Early Readers deserve more scholarly attention and careful thought because they are, for many younger readers, their first opportunity to engage with a work of literature on their own, to feel a sense of mastery over a text, and to experience pleasure from the act of reading independently. Using interdisciplinary approaches that draw upon and synthesize research being done in education, child psychology, sociology, cultural studies, and children’s literature, the volume visits Early Readers from a variety of angles: as teaching tools; as cultural artifacts that shape cultural and individual subjectivity; as mass produced products sold to a niche market of parents, educators, and young children; and as aesthetic objects, works of literature and art with specific conventions. Examining the reasons such books are so popular with young readers, as well as the reasons that some adults challenge and censor them, the volume considers the ways Early Readers contribute to the construction of younger children as readers, thinkers, consumers, and as gendered, raced, classed subjects. It also addresses children’s texts that have been translated and sold around the globe, examining them as part of an increasingly transnational children’s media culture that may add to or supplant regional, ethnic, and national children’s literatures and cultures. While this collection focuses mostly on books written in English and often aimed at children living in the US, it is important to acknowledge that these Early Readers are a major US cultural export, influencing the reading habits and development of children across the globe.

Early Phonetic Readers: 6 Book Collection

Shelley Davidow

These warm and wonderful readers will delight both students and teachers as they guide young children along the path of written language one step at a time. Written in order and phonetically, each story focuses on specific word groups, sounds and sentence structures. Each story has a beginning, middle and an ending. Succeeding stories build on these skills and then move on to the next level of skill. The books are conceived in much the same way as the "Dick and Jane" readers of an earlier era, but with a very important difference: these stories have a touching "heart content" to them. The stories are gently humorous while honoring nature, animals and the environment. The illustrations in their warm simplicity are wonderful compliments to the stories! Whether you are rewarding an eager reader with a first experience of reading something someone else wrote, or helping a struggling reader get the hang of all those letters, these readers are sheer joy for everyone. The six books use simple words that the early reader will easily grasp. They have been carefully chosen by a reading specialist to help students advance from the short vowels to the silent "e" to the vowel combinations. At the back of each book is a list of sight words that should be reviewed with the child before reading the book. This book is a compilation of all 6 individual booklets in "The Early Reader Series" into one paperback book. Appropriate for Grades 1-3.
