I didn't realize there were higher levels until recently... I'll have to see if the library carries them!ddavishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10533531196301054342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21181534.post-4344365085004774112014-09-28T13:07:24.963-04:002014-09-28T13:07:24.963-04:00Super helpful, thanks Denise!

We tried to use real books and library readers after the Teach Your Child to Read book and found it frustrating. Either the books were too difficult (and frustrated E) or too easy (which made me feel like we weren't making progress). Plus just having to find that many level-appropriate books each week was one more thing on my to do list I didn't enjoy. So we gave up on that approach and decided to go with the American Language Series K books to continue Phonics. No preparation required from me and they are great at introducing then repeating new phonics rules at a rate that Elliot is making progress but doesn't get frustrated. Anyway, just wanted to mention that in case you start into real books and have the same trouble. Though I'm thinking you will probably be better at picking out books than I was, so it may not be a problem for you :)ddavishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10533531196301054342noreply@blogger.com
