60 Scholastic Easy Leveled Readers Phonics Early Guided Reading Lot (15 Books Per Levels A, B, C, and D) (Little Leveled Readers) Paperback – January 1, 2011

Fantastic Leveled Readers for Growing Readers!I absolutely love these Scholastic Leveled Readers! I originally got them for my 5-year-old niece, but I've also used the same sets with both my daughters, and they've always been a hit.What I really appreciate about this set is how well each level builds on the last. It's truly guided reading at its best, slowly introducing and reinforcing new phonics and reading skills. The books are the perfect length too – short enough to keep little ones engaged without them losing interest, but long enough to actually develop those crucial reading skills.A super fun bonus feature is that kids can color in the books! It adds another layer of interaction and makes them even more appealing. If you're looking for a great way to support your child's early reading journey, you really can't go wrong with these.

Simple cute little books . My child doesn’t have a long attention span and I notice with the shorter sentences he tends to pay closer attention. love them so adorable !

This collection of books is well organized and color coded for gradual rise in difficulty. Each individual book is short but with clear lesson.There are many books in each color coded group .Added value is that each book can be used as a coloring book also. More educational opportunities .Great value for this collection.

You will have to read the books to your average kindergarten or 1st grade student. However, it is great for energetic 2nd graders who need something to read just before bedtime.

The books are small and as pictured in the description (colored cover). The stories are super short and for young readers perfect. Reading is a journey and each of these books introduces words that are above their level, which is great. The drawn pictures inside are black and white and illustrate what the words say below which also is very helpful to the reader for some of those harder words. They are about the size of your hand and a great size for little children. If anyone is giving these books bad reviews, they are probably looking for higher levels for advance reading- these are perfect for the level and length of beginners. If the black and white is to bothersome - color them in or have you child do so. If the front cover is faded - you got a bad batch. These are nice quick reads that will have your child excited for reading instead of hating it. Learning to read should be as stress free as possible and sometimes a little easy reader to reinforce what they know is just what they need to boost confidence and enjoy reading.

Cute book

In my daughter's kindergarten class, her teacher would send books home to practice with depending on grade level, and since my kid would forget to bring her book baggie home all the time, it was helpful to have these at home. Her teacher used these exact books in her class, so there was continuity at home, and my daughter went from not being able to read at all, to reading the D leveled books with no problem. We've got a few weeks left and her teacher told us she can move onto E books, and that we should continue practicing with C's and D's over the summer just to keep her brain active and she can remember all the reading strategies they've learned throughout the year.For the people complaining that they are tiny and thin, and that the illustrations are lacking--these books are perfect for beginning readers. There aren't any distractions from complicated pictures, and the pictures are simple enough so the kid can pick out their "picture clues", and then go back to focusing on the words. If you are unfamiliar with leveled readers, I can see why you might be disappointed, but if you want simple books that will actually help your child learn to read, these are perfect, especially for the price. I'm only wishing I could find such a large box of E-F readers, but they seem to go up to $1/book and are sold in smaller packs. Do yourself a favor, get these, and practice every night. You'll have a fully independent reader in just a few months, and boy will you be proud!

These books are not phonics readers that an emerging reader can sound out. Even the level A books contain irregular spelling patterns that are not decodable and cause frustration for new readers (words like "mouse", "eyes", "castle" and many others are not decodable, meaning they are not able to be sounded out like decodable words). I took the time and rewrote the sentences in many of them (example, changed mouse to rat because "rat" can be sounded out by a new reader), but I would not have purchased them if I would have known how many irregular words there were in these. I would not recommend for anyone because by the time the child is ready for irregular spelling patterns, they will find these books boring.
