More easy readers, part I

Yesterday I gave recommendations for beginning easy readers (AR level 0.1-0.5).  Today, I am bumping up the level to 0.6-1.0.  There is much more variety in these books.  Today, I will go through the first half.  Next, I'll go through the last half.  Finally, I'll show you how to search by grade level at home.

Linda Alexander~ her books focus on a letter of the alphabet; particularly helpful if you've got a child struggling with specific letters
Susan Blackaby~ her books will appeal to a broad range of children because they are about a variety of subjects (fishing, kickball, setting the supper table, etc.)
Stella Blackstone~ these books are about animals
Larry Brimner~ another broad range of books on a variety of subjects
Alyssa Capuccilli~ she is my favorite author of easy readers; the Biscuit series is great for all children
Joy Cowley~ she writes some silly books and some books about regular events in the life of a young child
Edana Eckart~ a great series of nonfiction books on camping, baseball, fishing, etc.
Jill Eggleton~ she writes realistic fiction to appeal to a broad range of children; also a series about a "flea" title character
Helen Frost~ she writes nonfiction books about animals
Jenny Giles~  she writes realistic fiction books about real-life events in the life of children; she also writes books about various adventures of animals
Sharon Gordon~ she writes the "Guess Who" series of nonfiction books related to animals

Alan Hofmeister~ (referenced in the previous blog)
Susan Hood~ she writes fiction about common life experiences of young children
