Seattle Picks: New Readers – Just Beginning

The child who is just beginning to read is learning to sound out vowels and consonants, is learning to recognize a handful of words and is comfortable with very simple books. A beginning reader may be just starting out or may have been reading for a year or two. Most of the books in this list come from our Early Reader collection (ER) but we have also included great nonfiction and graphic novels as well. We also invite you to ask a librarian for personalized recommendations for your child, at our libraries, online at www.spl.org or call the Children’s Center at 206-386-4675.
