My Project

Finding the right books for new and transitional readers can be tough. Children are still developing confidence in their skills, any hurdle- boring topic, not enough pictures, slow plotline is enough to make them put the book down and do anything else. These Acorn Scholastic early readers are aimed at children age 4-7 who are learning to read. There books include easy to read text, short story format and full color art work on every page.

These books will give my students an opportunity to choose their own books to read!

Choice is a key to growing engaged passionate readers. When you let your child pick what they want to read, books feel like a fun, exciting adventure instead of something they have to do.

This is why Acorn Books are so great for new readers! They have a series for every kid—humor, adventure, animal fantasy, monsters, lite horror, adorable owls, unicorn magic, friendship, superheroes, mystery and more. We want all new and transitional readers to find something they’re excited about!
