2.0 out of 5 stars Not appropriate for the true emergent reader, August 7, 1999

By A Customer

While this set is entertaining and certainly appropriate for the beginning reader, the emergent reader will be frustrated by the small size of the print, the lack of exagerrated spacing between words and the lack of predictable language. The books are more appropriate for the average second semester first grader.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great value!, January 18, 2002

By	K.C. (United States) - See all my reviews

For the price, this book is a great bargain. My first graders who hate to read LOVE to make and take home these books. They are too hard for my kindergarteners to read, but they enjoy coloring them and reading them with me and at home (I teach resoruce). The books cover a great variety of topics, from self-esteem issues, to seasonal, counting and cooking. They have equal appeal for boys and girls. The only draw back is it is hard to get the double-sided copies to line up well enough that the kids can cut, fold and staple the books themselves, but once you do, the books are easy to put together and a good size for the kids to handle and take home. One of the previous reviews was right - there is a lack of predictable language. Don't buy this if that is what you want!! But these books are great to motivate students to read, and I find I can tie into a variety of word study topics in most of the books. (wh questions, sh sounds, etc.)

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for emergent readers., October 25, 1998

By A Customer

First grade teachers will love this book. These books are wonderful for book club. Children feel successful! They love coloring in the pictures and taking home their books to read to family members! In addition I wrote each little story out on chart paper and colored the matching pictures.
