Let's Play! Great title to describe this fun series!
Rating:
5 / 5
The "Let's Play" box set is currently the final level (level 4) of the Now I'm Reading! series by Nora Gaydos. Like the others in this series, it contains ten 10-page books which are each about 5"x5". They come in a shelvable book that looks sort of like a CD case. The case is convenient because you can view each book without actually taking it completely out of the case (an important feature for an indecisive child). Level 4 books have 1-2 short sentences per page (about 10-15 words per page) and include new consonant blends and digraphs, new vowel patterns, various word endings, silent consonants, compound words, contractions, further sight word skills, and they introduce dialogue between characters. The ten books are as follows: What a Sight, Lucky Penny, Frank and Link, Rock Climbing, The Tennis Game, The Big Winner, Kurt Surfs, Swirl and Twirl, The Campsite, and You're It. These books are truly great for keeping the momentum going in the new reader and keeping the confidence high. The skills in these books will give your emerging reader a fantastic base which will easily transfer into larger books and longer sentences. Whenever my son gets discouraged with too many words or too many new things we return to this series and rebuild his confidence. Highly recommended!
Very motivating books for a beginning reader

My daughter loves animals so I love to find books that have animals in them so they will appeal to her. My daughter loves the whimsical and colorful illustrations and she is very motivated to read from her experiences with these books.
I love these book sets from the Now I'm Reading series. There is a parent guide included and a set of stickers so that when your child finishes a book she can put a sticker in it. There are several stickers for each book so it encourages reading and re-reading the books which is an important key to learning.
Simply incredible - my child WANTS to read more!

This series of books has been so enjoyable for my daughter. This is not the first beginning to read series that we have tried, but it has had the most longevity. This is the set that she chooses over Bob Books or the other beginning to read sets we have here. I purchased this book set to work on over the bridge from Kindergarten to First Grade and the excitement that she receives from finishing one of these is wonderful. She wants to read 3 or 4 a night! The drawings are bright and attention getting - and I can usually tell if my daughter is trying to "read" the picture rather than the words by her description of the picture. If you have a child who has learned the early soft phonics sounds and is ready to start applying this knowledge, this set is for you!
