Finding awesome books that my 6 year old can read all on her own can sometimes be a challenge. She wants to sound out all the words on her own with minimal help from me. I get it, she is on the cusp of fully reading and she wants it so bad but she is not quite there yet. Lots of great books designed for her age are really meant for me to read to her instead of the other way around. We picked up What This Story Needs Is: A Pig In A Wig and we were beyond excited that she was able to sound out almost all the words on her own.
What this story needs
is a pig
in a wig
on a boat
with some friends
having fun
in the sun?So come on board! Join Pig on an exciting boat ride where she discovers that life is a lot more fun with more friends.
It offers simple rhyming text with phonics components that is perfect for kids that are reading. I always enjoy a fun rhyming book. The illustrations are bright, beautiful and fun. It is listed for ages 4-8 but my 3 year old really enjoys me reading it to her as well. A great addition to the bookshelf.
