Books for new readers

It is such a struggle to find books for new readers.  Most of the time, these new readers have a limited vocabulary and few word choices.  There are some authors who excel at books for these new readers.  Here are my author recommendations. 
Margaret Hiller:  She has a huge variety of books.  These appeal to girls and boys.  Many of her books are based on fairy tales.
Alan Hofmeister:  He also has quite a variety of books.  Typically, he writes about animals.
Carol Greene:  These books are fiction but would appeal to those children interested in nature and science.
Dave Sargent:  He writes a series called, "I Can Read, Too."  These books deal with animals and what they can do.  In addition, he writes another series about animals.  Each book starts with "young".  (Young Dawn, Young Sammy, etc.)

For those of you that use Accelerated Reader, these books would fall in the 0.1 to 0.5 range.  Tomorrow, I'll spotlight books in the 0.6 to 1.0 range.  Please email me for specific recommendations.

Happy reading,
Susanne
