Training the Brain
I am a Special Education teacher. I help children with learning disabilities (K-5) learn to read. I don't think there are words for how highly I want to reccommend these books to parents and other educators. These books are PHONICS based and they are systematic and sequential. They help train a child's brain to see the patterns in the english language. Learning these patterns is how children ...

1001 Most Useful Spanish Words (Beginners' Guides) 97 reviews
Seymour Resnick
Dover Publications, 1996
More Than a Dictionary. Read Details Below ...
Look. This handy little book 1001 Spanish Words is more than a dictionary for one major reason. Each word is presented in alphabetical order with a simple and illustrative sentence next to it, followed by an English translation. This is much more useful than 'just a dictionary'.
If this approach pleases you, and if you truly aspire to speak Spanish, you must hear and repeat the language and ...

Bob Books, Set 1: Beginning Readers 83 reviews
Bobby Lynn Maslen
Scholastic, 2006
Great for emerging readers
My son is 5 and getting very interested in reading. His school had these books and he talked about them a lot. Now we have them at home and he loves to read the first three books. It is building his confidence because it is absolutely age appropriate as it introduces the sounds of letters in the form of short words. Highly recommended.

Horton Hears A Who!85 reviews
Dr. Seuss
Random House Books for Young Readers, 1954
A timeless masterpiece for children of all ages
Horton Hears a Who is a masterpiece. Often heralded as a book on friendship, it is much more than that. Theodor Seuss Geisel was an outspoken critic of Hitler and Mussolini, and Horton Hears a Who has been said to have been Geisel's call to support the fledgling democracy in Japan after World War II. But Horton is much more than that. Horton Hears a Who is a reminder of the importance of ...

Fancy Nancy and the Boy from Paris (I Can Read Book 1)8 reviews
Jane O'connor
HarperTrophy, 2008
Marvelous (fancy for great) & hilarious (fancy for so funny)!
Really enjoyed this one, possibly the best of Nancy for us (--this is our third Nancy-book). I was surprised to find the Nancy stories so enjoyable. Was pleasantly surprised too to find this as a reader, and it has great story. My girls both like these (& this one), my non-fancy Tom-boy and my girl who likes to tell me that she likes girly stuff and boys stuff too! "I like Efry-ding!"

A superb book written with a bit of humor!
I purchased this book for a digital photography course that I teach. I wanted to evaluate the book for use as a textbook for my students and it is fantastic. It is written in plain English, is very understandable, has great examples, and I am now using it for a digital photography course I teach. It covers all the fundamentals as well as some advanced techniques and is a guide that will serve the ...

BOB's great!
I teach Kindergarten, and these little books are just perfect for beginning readers. Also, although the pictures are very simple line drawings, the text and drawings are clever and often humorous.

One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish (I Can Read It All by Myself)125 reviews
Dr. Seuss, Theodor Seuss Geisel
Random House Books for Young Readers, 1960
The first book I bought for my god daughter.
Dr. Seuss is the best way to get your child to see that reading is fun.
With the Dr.s lyrical sing song rhymes and strange creatures,bright colors.
Salem loves this book,she loves to show how bright she is,she wants to count,to do her alphabet,at this age (She is 22 Mo) this is playing,
and the Dr. keeps children entertained, reading the same timeless books
that you knew as a child.

Green Eggs and Ham (I Can Read It All by Myself Beginner Books)220 reviews
Dr. Seuss
Random House Books for Young Readers, 1960
A powerful aid for anyone struggling with Cartesian method.
This work, I find, is most easily read as a very simple allegory; Sam-I-Am is, of course, René Descartes (his name is a clever clue to this fact; a clear reference to Descartes' famous "I think, therefore I am" statement, which we can extend upon this reading to "I think, therefore I am Sam!"), while the unnamed character represents the millions of unnamed target readers of Descartes' "Discourse ...

Sounds True, 2006
This is a very good CD.
I bought this CD at the recommendation of a social worker. I'm a perfectionist, which frequently leads me to experience anxiety. I've lived this way for 50+ years but it's not healthy. However, it has been the norm for my life. Yes, I've done some counseling over the years, which has been extremely helpful but I constantly battle with trying to do too much, making it all perfect and then ...
