Finding nonfiction books that beginning readers are actually able to read can be a challenge. One author stands out in this area - Kate Riggs. She has written many, many nonfiction books that are good for early readers. She has written many, many books on animals and many books on vehicles among other topics. Here are a few samples:
The fiction series that I am recommending today is the Brand New Readers series. These are very short but funny stories that are accessible to a very beginning reader. I bought these for my daughter when she was learning to read and she loved them. Now the crew is reading those books and they love them, too. You may borrow them from me, you can find some of them at the public library and on Amazon. The most favorite character in the series is Worm. I know that many of you have younger children, too, so if your child has moved beyond these books, they might be just right for your younger child.
