[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Junie B Jones series. The main character is in kindergarten, which can be very easy to relate to. Even though they are chapter books, they are easy enough words to have the early reader attempt to recognize some familiar site words or sound them out. Also can try comic books, such as Dog Man, which is what got my now first grader motivated to read.[/quote] I banned those books. She's such a horrible brat, and my kid started being bratty and sassy like her. So I told DD we weren't reading those books anymore and found books with nicer characters. Later found out a tons of parents in DD's grade did the same thing. [/quote] Yep. Also banned in our house.[/quote] My kindergartener banned them in our house. She said Junie made bad choices and she didn't want to read them. Elephant and Piggie is the BEST for this stage. You read all of the parts now, and soon you can take turns with her reading one character and you reading the other.[/quote] My older one really loved Junie B. Jones. I really liked them too-they made me laugh out loud and I was sad when we reached book 24. My younger one who is more serious is horrified at her, and doesn't want to hear me read those. For read aloud-both kids loved My Father's Dragon, all the Roald Dahl books and the books by Dev Pilkey targeted to earlier readers where I could get them to read out a portion of the graphic novel with easy words (Dog Man, Dragons Gone by). Agree that Elephant and piggie are super fun to have your kid play Elephant or Piggie.[/quote]
