Perfectly done, terrific way to help kids jump into reading

My kids' preschool teacher recommended this to me and now I rave about Nora Gaydos' "Now I'm Reading" level 1 and up series to other moms. Let me count the ways...

1) I credit this series with getting my kids to read sooner than they would have.

2) Stories are very short but engaging to little ones. They are very manageable for emerging readers and kids are so proud of themselves for having read "a book" when they are done.

3) Drawings are delightful!

4) Stickers that match the story characters add to the fun and motivation.

5) Author truly refrains from trying to stuff more than one new learning concept in each book. So many people try to do intro phonics but can't help themselves from putting in advanced sight words and several new concepts at once.

Animal Antics: Now I'm Reading (Level 1)

My toddler loves these books. She can't get enough of them. Even though she isn't reading them herself, she loves it when we read them to her and she loves looking at the pictures. These books will be great for her when she starts reading herself!

Fundamental Phonics in a Fun Friendly Format

It is so hard these days to find interesting books that focus on phonics AND child confidence that don't have an overwhelming number of undecodable words. This book is a treasure if you are looking for a program focusing on beginning phonics (Consonant-Vowel-Consonant) and Consonant Blends and Sight Words in a format that your child will enjoy while building up confidence. Each soft cover book is about 5" by 5" and has about 10 easy reading pages that slowly builds up the sentences with each page, (e.g. A cat. A tan cat. A tan fat cat.) yet is still able to hold a story (e.g cat loses a race but his friends still clap for him). The books are Fat Cat, Hot Dog, Pig Jig, Rub-A-Dub Cub, Wet Legs, Crab Trap, Frog Cops, Fish Gift, Stuck Duck, and Elk Yelps. My daughter is so happy to be able to say she can read a book without help! It truly builds up their confidence and is exactly what reluctant beginning readers need. The set comes in a nice little hardcover case, easy for readers to carry around, and has individual see-through pockets to keep each book safe in or insert the back flaps to make one big book, and has a magnetic closure tab, to keep it all together and give kids that special-book/diary type of feel so they'll want to take it to bed. It also comes with a list of questions for kids, parents advice book and stickers. The illustrations are simple, funny and enjoyable. I am so happy I found this indispensable teaching tool! Highly recommended!

excellent books, pleasant illustrations, waldorf mom likes the series

I agree with all the rave reviews about how these books progress from basic to more advanced reading skills. I also appreciate the illustrations. I rarely buy a book for my children that is not beautifully illustrated, ala The Rainbabies by Laura Krauss Melmed and Jim Lamarche or Sophie's Masterpiece: A Spider's Tale by Eileen Spinelli and Jane Dyer. While not beautiful in a painterly manner, the illustrations by BB Sam are not at all garish and by far the best I've seen in any beginning reader.

GREAT, GREAT, GREAT!!!

These books have cute, fun stories with simple words and interesting COLOR pictures! (I like Bob's books, but the pictures are little more than black and white stick figures.)The 10 books are very nicely contained in a larger holder. They can be taken out or left in while reading; this way the books don't get torn or lost. My daughter loves these books and is so proud to be able to read a whole story on her own!
-Worth every cent!
