[quote=Anonymous]A series of readers I liked when my kid was struggling to learn to read is by Flyleaf Publishing. Pretty pictures, better stories than the easy books her public school was having her do (Think: Bug on a Rug)

These are online but there are paper versions too

We have bribed, and I don't know if that will undermine a love of reading -- at age 10, she almost never voluntarily reads unless she's earning dessert. But she came to us at the end of second grade not even solid on the difference between a short e and a short i, and not able to do consonant blends like 'st' at the end of words, and not able to do any compound words, so I felt it was an emergency in the short term.

We read to her all the time too, and she thinks of herself as someone who loves books/likes reading, so maybe as reading gets easier she will read on her own??? (She just finished fourth grade. She can read Diary of a Wimpy Kid with help on unfamiliar words like 'accomplice')

I had a very hard time finding in person tutors who were available in NE DC. Hope your luck is better.
