At just 4 years old, Harper is learning to read! For the past few months Harper has been really interested in the beginning sounds/letters of words. She has been practicing sounding words out by writing them on paper. (Ex: garlic toast = grlk tost) I decided that I would buy her some books for beginning readers just to see how she'd do. She did AWESOME! She read the first 10 books with hardly any help. (Side note: teaching your child to read takes A LOT of patience as it may take 30+ seconds just to read one sentence.)
After doing a little research, I decided to start with BOB Books for Beginning Readers. (I actually ordered them from Amazon though) There are 10 books in each series. Each book focuses on a different sound, vowel, or sight word. Every series contains the same familiar characters. The illustrations are simple, with black, white and red being the only colors. I definitely recommend BOB books for anyone with kids that are learning how to read. We will be purchasing more books as Harper's reading skills advance. And we will be buying the 'pre-reader' series for Elliet.

I hope Harper's love of books and reading continues as she grows up!
