This year, I discovered that I can order directly from Scholastic's Teacher Store through our homeschool ordering system. I went a little crazy to say the least. Scholastic has such great books, especially their guided reading sets (see previous post), including fiction and non-fiction books. I ordered several great sets for use in Language, Science, and Reading. I have been immensely pleased with all of these books. I ordered AlphaTales sets for my pre-K and K5 kiddos and they just love them.
Scholastic's AlphaTales come in several formats. You can get a set of 26 paperbacks, one book with all 26 stories in one, flashcards, audio cd, coordinated letter formation cards, etc . . . I purchased a set of 26 paperbacks and the audio cds plus I found another set of paperbacks on ebay for a great price. I'm still trying to find a couple more sets of these books for a good price so each student can have their own copy. (that's what I get for having 3 kiddos within 13 months of each other)
The children enjoy these books so much. They are silly books that emphasize the sound of each letter. The audio cd makes it even more fun with cute sound effects and expressive reading. Whether we are having school or not, the three youngest enjoy listening to the books and following along. Scholastic has lots more great books for emergent readers and beginning readers too. The AlphaTales are definitely at the top of our list though.
