[quote=Anonymous]My son loves books, mostly to look at pictures and talk about what is happening, but he is not yet reading (and I don't expect him to). However, I want to offer him some books that will actually help with learning how to read. He doesn't yet seem to know all his letters or numbers, so maybe something that would also help with that.

He has SPD, will probably be diagnosed with ADHD, and may have some learning delays, and what appears to be an expressive language delay - its hard to tell right now. I am expecting him to probably have some struggles in school, but hoping for the best.

In any event, I would like to do my part to at least introduce him to books that can help him get ready for Kindergarten. He has a late birthday, so he won't go to K until he is almost 6. I would like to use this year to try to prepare him the best I can. He has a short attention span, so the books need to be short, include interesting pictures etc. He loves animals, bugs, legos.

We have plenty of those DK reader books Level 1, 1 etc...but those actually seem too complicated to start with -too many words. I think we need something more simple to get him to put words and letters together. I've looked at Bob books, but I wonder if those would interest him at all.

Thoughts?[/quote]
