My son is doing well with 3 letter word readers, now I need readers for the next...

level. He is doing well with 3 letter words. We have been working on letter blends and diagraphs but I'm having trouble finding books for him that aren't too easy or too hard. It seems like there is a lot of either kind but not what we need. Any ideas, or suggestions?

You might like "Little Books" sets of decodeable readers. They are available at http://www.iseesam.com and http://www.3rsplus.com. One of those websites may still have placement tests to help determine which set to start with.

The yellow readers from LLATL Blue are blends and digraphs, but not too many sight words. I think you can buy them seperately at Rainbow Resource.

What is LLATL?

These are the ones I was going to suggest. Very nice set of books and provide lots of practice and fun stories for kids.

We are using McGuffey's readers starting with McGuffey's Eclectic Primer, Revised Edition and then we will move to McGuffey's First Eclectic Reader, Revised Editon. They are systematic and move from short vowels to bigger blends. We are very pleased with how they are working here. Start with the Primer though as it progresses pretty quickly into four letter blends.

HTH!
Warmly,
Kate
