Hurray for Phonics,
By "carilyn" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sam Sheep Can't Sleep (Usborne Easy Words to Read) (Paperback)
The phonics in this book are fantastic! Almost every word in it can be sounded out. It has a nice musical rhythmn when reading it out loud. The flaps make it interesting for younger children and the illustrations are comical. It's fun to read.

This review is from: Sam Sheep Can't Sleep (Easy Words to Read) (Paperback)
I have a 6 year old who is beginning to read. The books she brings home from school have sentences that repeat along with difficult words that she figures out through picture clues. I am sure that this helps her learn to read, but I also realize that she simply memorizes the repetitive sentences. These books use words with the same phonemes (like "oo" and "ay") along with mostly simple words that she can already read (for example: is, on, she). Each book revolves around about 3 phonemes. There are still some words on each page that are difficult for her and do not revolve around the phonemes, but I guess it's difficult to make a story fun and interesting without them. I do believe that the repetitive nature of the words with the same phonemes will help her to read (for example: In the book Goose on the Loose - words with the "oo" phoneme include goose, scooter, loose, fool, boo, moo, pool, kangaroos, and rooster). I would recommend this whole series along with the Dick and Jane books (which repeat simple words over and over).

First book my daughter "read",
By A Customer
This review is from: Sam Sheep Can't Sleep (Usborne Easy Words to Read) (Paperback)
This is the BEST book! My little kindergardener is reading now, and this was the first book she reallly read on her own. Easy and fun to read...will give your children the self-esteem they need to do it on their own. I highly recommend this and the other books in this series.
