The recipe sounds good- a dollop of playing added to another of books with a dash of TV, garnished with outings and some work!sandhyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09654489216158421654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2595796005864296724.post-9937360378894697662010-06-13T10:21:43.096-07:002010-06-13T10:21:43.096-07:00Zoe, I don't know where your daughter is at wi...Zoe, I don't know where your daughter is at with her reading level but Matthew really loved Mo Willems' "Elephant and Piggie" books as easy readers. They were the first beginning readers that really interested him and they are humorous enough that my younger son enjoys them as well.Katie Frieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08028050595073414222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2595796005864296724.post-53277900928478317172010-06-13T00:47:28.826-07:002010-06-13T00:47:28.826-07:00Wow, what an exciting summer you have ahead of you...Wow, what an exciting summer you have ahead of you! Our summer holidays don't start till the very end of July but I'm starting to think about what we're going to get up to. In particular I'm looking for something to support M's reading - she started reading in school just before Christmas, but the books she's reading through school are all so dull! Because we read a lot of really excellent books at home with amazing illustrations all the books she's bringing home for beginner readers seem rather plain and flat. Boring pictures and unengaging stories...Playing by the bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02761644438775249830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2595796005864296724.post-16111813446600525202010-06-12T08:36:34.811-07:002010-06-12T08:36:34.811-07:00Hi Katie: Enjoy your summer.

We're also planning to do the summer reading club at the library.<br /><br />Audrey (my almost-5-year-old) has been going through the Bob phonics books, so I'll be getting the next set for her to work on this summer.<br /><br />If you find math books you recommend, please do post about them.Jayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07375052591586875158noreply@blogger.com
