Having the right books is essential. So many books that are readily available in stores and in libraries aren't written for early or emergent readers. There is too much text and words used can't always be sounded out. This is why having decodable books written for beginning readers is so important in a Kindergarten classroom!\r\n\r\nThese particular book sets are also engaging, high-interest, and high quality. They will be read and treasured for many future classes of Kindergarteners too. Thank you so much for providing my students with the right books to support them as they develop as readers.
