- Mazeways: A to Z
by Roxie Munro - You Read to Me, I'll Read to You
by Mary Ann Hoberman
Mazeways is lots of fun and teaches vocabulary and problem-solving skills. My four-year-old LOVES this book!!!
You Read to Me... is a book where the left-hand side of each silly kid poem (in blue, or maybe red) is read by one person, and the right-hand side (in red, or maybe blue) is read by the other person. The parts in the middle are in purple and are to be read by both readers. I can't believe my first grader picked it out. He read two of them with me for our bed-time story. Cool!
These books get a 4-clover rating from kids, parents, and teachers, and a three-clover rating from writers. If you've read either of them, how do you rate them? Are you clever enough to come up with your own book that will earn a four-clover rating? Which one would you be more likely to check out of the library? I checked out Mazeways, but may be buying it. I already own You Read to Me, I'll Read to You.
Keep on keepin' on!
My son really likes "You Read to Me, I'll Read to You" also! I think it is very clever and isn't intimidating for new readers because they know they don't have to read the whole thing. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteNow if I could just get him to want to read a couple of those stories EVERY night!
ReplyDeleteThey both sound brilliant, thanks for sharing. My son got a lot of new books recently but really isn't interested in reading much. I need something like this to grab his interest.
