Books for Reception Children Learning to Read

[reallybusymummy]

Hello, from those who have gone before me, I'd love to get some books to support learning to read for my 4 year old who has started school this term.

I like the Songbirds books - mainly phonics based and often on offer at the book people. Your school though should be able to give you some too. Ours had two a week, which was enough for them, although ds is getting through three a day so I know that sometimes you do need to supplement. Also try ordering in from the library. Our investment with three children has been worth it but with fewer children or faster progression they would soon have been obsolete.

Thank you so much and Bookpeople was a briliant idea too x

Our children 3, 5 & 7 use ReadingEggs. I've definitely noticed an increase in comprehension. I like that they make the games fun for kids to learn reading.

I had a DD learning to read at the same time as a DS learning to speak. My DD got on so well reading the same books I was reading to DS. Nothing too long, lots of repetition and few words on the page.

Light years?! Pfb by any chance?

Op I would just go to the library and keep reading what your child is interested in and entertained by. If there are easy phonetically-predictable words then you could gradually see if your child could have a go. Trust your child's teacher to do the teaching and you can make sure he/she does the school books at home and then whatever is fun. Don't make it formal at home as they will get enough of that at school.

Keep trying different things and see what goes down well. Just visited our library and they have some new phonics books in so got them. Oh yes and picked up some red nose readers from the charity shop. All will be visited with a softly softly approach .

Ooh harsh MrsJ.
Not PFB actually. Just talented in this area. Not all areas but this one yes.
