I recently received a copy of Beehive Reader 1 to review. This BEAUTIFUL book is published by All About Spelling and correlates with their level 1 lessons. It is also can be used as a stand-alone early reader.
The book is hard-covered and printed on high quality paper. It is 160 pages and contains 10 stories. All stories have great illustrations and are phonics-based.
From the All About Spelling website:
Your beginning reader will delight in finding out what happens when…
…a busy cat lives in a windmill
…a sleepy bear cub takes a nap
…a grumpy duck demands a snack
…a singing bat befriends a lonely king
… a curious boy shrinks from tall to small
… and much more!
This book is below my children’s age level. It is for beginner readers. However, Silly Girl, who is 12, has learning disabilities–and although, I would not give her this book to read independently as she would likely be insulted, I was able to get her to read it to the little children she babysits for….It provided good practice for her and entertaining stories for the kids. She will add it to her ‘babysitting bag.’ It is one book to carry that contains 10 fun stories!!
The book costs $19.95–which seems high at first–but when you think of it as less than $2 per story it is definitely worth it; and it is something that can be passed down and used a lot. We loved the book and do recommend it if you have beginning readers.
DISCLAIMER: I was provided this reader free of charge for the purpose of giving my honest opinion as part of my involvement in TOS Crew. No other compensation was given.
