[quote=Anonymous]The Level 1 readers drive me NUTS.  They have a random combination of very simple words with words that are REALLY hard to read.  I found the Piggy and Elephant ones to be a bit easier than most of the "Early Reader" ones.  Some of the Dr. Seuss ones aren't too bad either.  Also, I ended up writing short books for my children, using words that I know they knew and similar phonics.  They really liked it because I could focus on topics they were interested in, and they were not at all critical of my stick figure illustrations!  Another thing I did was to make a matching game with words that I knew were within their reading level -- e.g., a picture of a hat and the word hat.  I set it up like a board, like a memory match game.  Again, they liked it because it was specially made for them.  It took like 20 minutes to make, while I was on the metro.
Also, I highly recommend an old computer game called Reader Rabbit. You can still buy it on Amazon, but unfortunately, you will need an old operating system to run it, so dig out your antique computer from 10 years ago.[/quote]
