[quote=Anonymous]The best books are ones that repeat some words on each page. like Good Night Moon, Guess How Much I Love You or that have rhymes like Dr. Seuss series or that have good rhythm and are fun to memorize like Good Night, Good Night Construction Site or Steam Train, Dream Train. For many kids the first step to reading is memorizing the words of a book and matching them up with what's on the page. At first he may not be able to match specific words but may know what the story says on a page or set of pages. Pretty soon he'll be matching up words. Then he'll be able to extrapolate from what he knows. For instance, he'll know that c-a-t spells cat and that s makes the sss sound and then he'll be able to read sat. Our own DCs couldn't stand the Bob books as they don't really have a story but I second PPs recommendation that they seem to work for some kids. [/quote]
