Recommended books for students in Pre K- K
Early Readers Level 1
Description:A list of over 25 Early Readers containing few words per page that provide children with a satisfying reading-on-their-own-for-the-first-time experience. Tried and true, I've used these particular titles to set kids on the road to reading. In fact, this list includes a few titles from the series, "Road to Reading." Read one of these books to a child and then have the child bring the book home to read or retell to mommy/daddy/caretaker. Two pages, portrait, to be printed front and back and folded lenghthwise. Includes a title page. Modify to meet your needs.
