What books can my 4 year old read?

I just finished 'Teach your child to read in 100 easy lessons' with my 4 year old son. The early readers are to easy for him and boring but the level 3-4 readers have really difficult words. I am looking for some books that have simple words but mor…

WITH LOVE TO KALO

Sometimes I take it for granted that my son is healthy. And then I hear about other people's children who have been afflicted by something terrible, and the constant challenges they face, and I am humbled.

A little while back I visited with an old friend of my mother's who told me this incredibly poignant and heartbreaking

Itsjust4me encourages using Personalized Children’s Books as Learning Tools

Have you ever noticed how your child learned his or her name first, before mommy, daddy or anything else you tried to teach him? His name becomes equal to his identity. He immediately becomes more interested in objects and concepts as it relates to him.

Middle School Favorite

Hello Everyone!
I'm so excited to find this site! I'm a middle school librarian who reads the
"kid's books" so that I can make suggestions and share with my students. Some of our favorite series include:
The Mediator series by Meg Cabot (A 16 year-old mediator, who helps ghosts get to the other side, falls in love with the ghost who lives in her new home.)
The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod series by Brewer ( The adventures of a teenage boy who is half vampire and half human.)
The Last Apprentice se… Continue

Win a T Shirt

I would love to win a t shirt for my eldest grandson, Ben, Since he discovered books, he always has his head in a book, and is so excited with the imagination he has discovered reading books.

P.J. Story Hour

I love reading for myself and I try to pass my love of reading to my students. Unfortunately, many parents have forgotten the joy of reading to their children! For the past 3 years, I have held a P.J. Bedtime Story Hour at my school, scheduling it for around 6:30 p.m. on a school night and inviting the pre-k students at our school and their parents to wear their p.j.'s, bring a blanket to sit on, and I display and read from some of my favorite books. I use this as a night to communicate to the p… Continue

Love this website

This web site is the best! As a James Patterson fan, I have read almost everything I can get my hands on by him. (you) I have always loved to read, and as I do today, I would find a book I liked, and then I'd devour everything by that author. It has been heart breaking that my son didn't share the same passion for reading, but I have used this site as a way to find books he might be interested in, and it has now become something we do together~and with great success! He has also become so aware… Continue
