We Both Read

Way back when (an eyeblink ago)
when my nine year old
was four I looked for good books
to read with him and found the
We Both Read series.

The psychologist had said
he'd be reading at age three.
That didn't happen, but
he was a bit ahead
of the curve.

The We Both Read
series starts at a K level
and goes up. Titles include
simple stories and non-fiction
about bugs and and stars.



My boy liked the
You Read to Me, I'll Read to You

series more later, in

1st grade and still reads those

books to himself sometimes. 

They have more words

per page and sidebar pictures 

instead of full page illustrations.

I didn't think about that

at the time, but looking

back I think that's part

of the reason my kid

liked the We Both Read

series more initially.

I wish I could make

the world more easily

understandable for all

our kids. But finding the 

right books is a start.
