Guided Science Readers Dad or mum Pack: Degree A: 16 Enjoyable Nonfiction Books That Are Simply Proper for New Readers

Appropriate, Enjoyable, Longer Words, Excellent Pictures & Nice Quality Readers!
First of the ABCD set of Guided Science Readers and appropriate for beginning readers. The A readers are very simple ideas about nature/animals but the words aren’t so simple, so instead of a lot of two or three letter words, the child is taught to read only a few four or five letter words right from the beginning in repetition style (which is fine so not to intimidate a new reader who is reading more than simple words right from the beginning.) Pictures above words are clear photos and appropriate and match the words. Would recommend for a reader who knows the alphabet and a few shorter Pre K – Kindergarten sight words and some sounds that some letters make (phonics). The A readers are eight pages long and good for children’s small hands (5 and 1/2″ by 5 and 1/2″ or 14cm by 14cm), but again not to intimidate and remain approachable and enjoyable while encouraging. Covers are card stock and pages are glossy and are about as thick as typing paper and the edges are sewn, nice touch. These will last through several readings and can be stored in the matching sturdy cardboard box. Animal reward stickers and an activity book are included which further encourage learning and very early reading comprehension skills! Bought the remaining three sets after buying the A reader. Recommend for any child who is learning how to read!

Adorable confidence builders for early readers
My 5-year-old finally started to take an interest in reading, and I wanted something that wasn’t the typical “see Spot run” book to help him develop confidence in his reading ability. He knows tons of sight words, but it just hasn’t been at the top of his priority queue to put those words together in sentences and start reading whole books.These are eight-page books with simple words and pictures that match the story, and with very little help, my son was able to read all sixteen of them to me. If your child absolutely hates doing anything they aren’t instantly good at, and that’s been getting in the way of them learning to read, this kind of book might be exactly what you’re looking for. Having gotten his confidence up, he’s on to level B books, and is demanding more and more practice time reading with Mom and Dad. This set may not have a very long shelf life in our house, but it was precisely what we needed. I’m very satisfied, and the books are cute.

… these and they are simple repetitive books that are easy for her
Our daughter loves to read these and they are simple repetitive books that are easy for her. As an educator, I would recommend for ages 3 and 4. They aren’t really going to learn a lot of facts from these, but it’s a great way to introduce nonfiction reading.

books looked kind of dumb, but my friend recommended them
Ok, so I was a little skeptical: books looked kind of dumb, but my friend recommended them. My son LOVES them!!! It is impossible to get him to try and read ANYTHING, but he LOVES these little books and even picks them up to read on his own. Awesome job Scholastic!

I love these books and so do my kids the pictures are beautiful and the kids beg to read every few min so I bought each level this is something that will be passed down the line of kids for sure

These are absolutely perfect for teaching little ones to read. I like them FAR better than any of the other leveled readers because they help kids learn by seeing particular words repeated in the same book, which gives the little readers confidence and tunes them into the phonics in a simple, targeted way. New readers will be able to learn sight words and read the books back to you in a simple sitting as they will learn from the cues of the repeated patterns as well as from the pictures. It’s Scholastic. So, good stuff!

Great resource for kids that like non-fiction. A little too easy for my 4 year old (who knows his letters, sounds and some 2-3 letter words), but we still did them quickly and moved on to level B.
