Disclaimer: I received samples for review. All opinions are my own.
As you know, I homeschool my chidren. Because I do not stick with a defined purchased curriculum, especially since Tbomb is in Kindergarten, I get resources for school from all different places. One of my favorites is DK Readers. We take our time reading them during our lessons and he is so happy when he finishes a page by himself. These are definitely winners and I'm honored to have them in my classroom.
Tbomb loved learning so many fun facts about animals. I was able to work them in to our science lessons as well and we had fun making venn diagrams and other charts with the books. It stuck with him better and he understood a log more because he read it himself. It was so nice to see such a sense of pride in him when he read his books.
Trusted by parents, teachers, and librarians, DK Readers combine a highly visual approach with nonfiction stories that children want to read. Each book is written and reviewed by literacy experts, and contains a glossary and index, making them the perfect choice for helping develop strong reading habits among kids ages 4–12.
Since 1988, DK has sold 49 million Readers and published more than 200 titles in the series. Now, after consulting with today’s leading experts in children’s literacy, DK has transformed their approach with modern subjects and enticing covers that compete for the time and attention of digital-era kids.
Four levels of DK Readers are aimed at different reading abilities: Level 1: Learning to read, Level 2: Beginning to read, Level 3: Beginning to read alone, and Level 4: Reading alone.
