Decodable Books

Big
https://www.readinga-z.com/books/leveled-books/book/?id=174
The decodable book Big is for kindergartners according to readinga-z.com. I think it is a great concept book for children who are just beginning how to read. I also think that this book would count as a predictable read as every page starts out with "A big ______." So, by looking at the pictures the child could easily read this aloud and to himself. 
5 out of 5 stars!

Show Some Love

Show Some Love is also another book for Grade K. I think this is a great decodable text because it is also teaching children how to show that they love someone. I think that it's great that this book is teaching them concept reading, while also teaching them a great lesson with pictures of real people! 
5 out of 5 stars!

How Many Do You See?

This book helps the child count different animals. I thought that this was really well made because in the book it says how many sheep do you see, but instead of the word sheep it actually has the picture. (See picture below). I think that this is a great way to help the child count by having them know exactly what they are looking for.
5 out of 5 stars!!

  1. Reading A-Z is a fantastic resource for parents and teachers. The format of the "How many do you see?" book has a special name--Rebus. Rebus books have pictures within the text to help new readers build up to being able to "read" a book. It is a great structure to help scaffold new readers.
