[quote=Anonymous]I like the Mercy Watson series for this stage. It's kind of a hybrid of picture book and short chapter book. On Junie B... we also took a bit of a break from it in kindergarten too but the kids came back to it later. That series, IMO, is really for kids in 1-2nd grade. It's for kids older than K who can look back at a kindergartner as being silly and immature, not someone you want to emulate. It's not written at a kindergarten level. The Ramona books are similar, particularly the first couple books -- Beezus and Ramona (Ramona is 4) and Ramona the Pest (she's 5). Those are fun read-alouds but the reading level is targeted to the Beezus of the sisters, not the Ramona.[/quote]
