Margaret Hillert Books: Idea #62

Once your student is sounding out short two and three letter words and knows a few sight words, you may want to get them started on some easy reader books. One of my favorite authors is Margaret Hillert. Her books are repetitive and simple. Students are able to gain confidence from reading them. She writes books about things from the holidays to  fairy tales. Check out this website to find a list of her books: http://www.scholastic.com/teachers/bookwizard/books-by/margaret-hillert.

TIP: Before your child tries to read one of her books to you, look through it and see if there are any words that may be difficult for your student. Make a list of the hard words and practice them with your student before your student begins to read. This will help your student get more excited about reading and feel successful. 

ALSO, all of her books are Accelerated Reader books.
