My son and I are both enjoying the Usborne Very First Reading books. This is book 2. The parent reads a page and the child reads a page. Nice way to acquire sight words and build fluency, plus the parent models fluency.

This is the second book in the Usborne Very First Reader series, and my ESL daughters are enjoying working through the books. This particular book gave us opportunities to talk about what different words actually meant (like pot and nap). I love that the sounds remain the same for the child learning to read, and it's not as overwhelming for them. I also love the additional activities included in the back of each book. Not the most interesting story, but great for helping a child learn the basics of reading.

2.5/5 this simple short story, all about inagining what you might be when you grow up, is designed to support beginner readers aged 4+ by combining decodable sentences that the child can read with more complex text for an adult (or older competent reader) to read.

I like Dressing-Up Box. Only for kids.

Used to love to dress up in clothes

[Judy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Joint reading works well. Both adult and child participate and, I notice, talk about the story a little more than usual.

Dress up clothing triggers imagination.

Super gender and white, but decent start for reading otherwise

[Suzanne Lorraine Kunz Williams · Rating 3 out of 5]

Easy book for beginning readers.

[Heather · Rating 4 out of 5]

33 months - I like that this is a co-reading book. Adults read the left, kids read the right. Puzzles and activities at the end. We will have to re-visit these books.

[Sarah A · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fun book for early readers to encourage them in their reading skills. Great for those interested in dressing up as different characters.
