Review
Guided Reading Books For The Emergent Reader is a unique, fully-reproducible resource featuring twenty-one simple-to-read books about common kindergarten topics. Each story can be reproduced on two pieces of paper and with one cut and two staples can be assembled to make a small eight-page book. The topics include Bears, Suppertime, Fall, Apples, Scarecrow, Jack-o-Lantern, Indians, A Teepee, Thanksgiving, The Christmas Tree, A Cat, The Chase, Listen, Go!, Shapes, Art, Recess, Kindergarten, School, We Like School, and May Garden. Author Eileen Feagin and illustrator Gayle Bone have collaborated in designed the books with a blank back page, on which teachers can place several tailor-made messages to parents and guardians. Word-by-word modeling of a small-group, guided-reading session gives teachers an easy point of reference to enhance and supplement their own classroom curriculums. Template notes to parents and tips on using volunteers and upper-grade students as resources make Guided Reading Books For The Emergent Reader a complete, practical, inexpensive and highly recommended resource. -- Midwest Book Review
