I've been watching this set of books come and go at Costco waiting until Cyrena is just right for them. The time has COME!!!! I bought sets 1, 2, &3. She's gone through the first 2 books in set 1 so far and is so happy with herself.
What I like about the books:
*short, predictable text that uses word families
*simple illustrations
*it says 'the end', she loves to say it!
*each book builds on the previous book so the kids see something familiar; it gives them confidence
*great price!
I can't wait to make it through all the sets although I won't push her, we just work with them when she wants to! I'll let you know as we progress. I've got some other learning activities to post that we've been doing--soon to come!

You are such a teacher :) I just recently got back into reading books to the boys, for some reason we slacked off when Gavin came. They love to read books.
Those look like good books! I can't wait until Navy is old enough to do stuff like that, right now I just sit with her while she flips through the pages!
We love the BOB books. They are the perfect books for the beginning reader. It is so fun for them to be able to read a whole book on their own. What a great confidence builder!
Can't wait to hear how you guys like the series. I have been wanting to get them for Arin.
Ty loved these books as well... we got ours in the scholastic book order!
Thanks for the tips--I've been looking for some books like these for Kate. Karson used some neat little scholastic ones at school, but I want to get some for home library. Now I want to take a trip to Costco :0)!
I am sure that you can guess who LOVES "the end" of these books too. They are like sisters from another mother.
All of my kiddos started with these books.
