I reviewed very similar books, and I did find that every now and then there were some bigger words that little children may not have heard before. However, I guess that may be part of the decodable texts roll, along with teaching children sounds and grammar.
ReplyDeleteReading A-Z is a great resource for parents and teachers. While the story lines are not that engaging, they do provide important practice for beginning readers.
ReplyDeleteAll of these books sound great for children and the source that you got them from is very handy. I was able to use it for school projects that I needed them for. All of the story lines seem appropriate for children.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a good sound book for a child. Having animals might make the book more interesting for children. ------------ Amanda Tarantino
