Beginning Readers
The first time my daughter read a book to me I was so excited and proud. Granted, it was only 9 pages long with 1-4 words on each page, but it was such an accomplishment for my just turned 5 year old.
This lens offers wonderful book ideas for beginning readers. The list contains my favorites as well as some that other mothers have suggested to me. I hope you find it helpful. :)

Recommended Series for 1st Graders
George and Martha: The Complete Stories of Two Best Friends
My daughter and I have been reading this series and so far I am loving it. I'm able to relate each of the short stories to her own life and it's been great for initiating conversations with her. Topics like self esteem and speaking up when something is bothering you. My daughter has really been enjoying them too.

Wonderful list! I have 6 y/o granddaughter and 4 y/o grandson. Their mommy has already purchased the Bob books, and we have most of the Dr. Seuss, but I was glad to see your other recommendations! We cannot do too much to make reading fun for our children (and grandchildren!) Posted May 28, 2008 |

The closest you may ever be to your kids is reading a book to them. I think it is the most important moment of the day with young children. It especially proved helpful with our oldest daughter who has a learning disability. Find out how she overcame it with the help of a reading specialist at Hey Teacher My Child Can't Read Posted May 15, 2008 |

This is a great lens. I'm not a parent, but I do have a niece who is going to start reading soon. Posted March 17, 2008 |
