Early Reader Club, Months 41-42

The short stories in this set are just the right length for my 3.5-year-old — the simple sentences let her practice sounding out words without getting frustrated. She actually asks to read them before bed now.

The leveled little booklets finally got my son reading whole sentences on his own instead of just guessing from the pictures. We do one together after dinner and he's started pointing out sight words in his other books too.

My 5-year-old actually asks to do her reading practice now, which I never expected. The booklets are short enough to finish in one sitting, so she gets that little win every day.
