Perfect for my son who is entering first grade this year.
My son is a very picky reader. His kindergarten teacher said that he was a reading level E and I wanted to find him some books that he could read on his own easily. He also LOVES science. These books are a huge hit with him. He can read all of them, (even the F books) relatively easily. We got them yesterday and he has been reading them all day. I woke up to him reading the Chameleons book to his father this morning.I have bought so many level 1 and 2 readers in the past to try to encourage my son to read. He likes the DK dinosaur level readers but hasn't really taken to anything else. These guided readers are much better for young readers in my opinion. The structure is simpler and they encourage younger readers because they are can easily sound out any words that they do not know. There are also not too many words on each page. My son also loves that they are non-fiction.I highly recommend these books. I am so glad that we found them.Also, just to note because I saw other reviewers complain about the binding being thread- ours are bound with staples, not thread. We ordered directly from Amazon and not a third party.

Great series for the beginning reader
This past fall my 6-year old niece began working on reading in earnest. I gave her the "A" series of these books, and she ate them up. She would corral anyone who would listen, sit them down, and read through the entire series to them.She seemed to be so taken with these that I started to get her a new series every couple of weeks, and by Christmas she was up to series "F". She loves these little books, and takes good care of them, keeping them in their box -- in order -- when she's not reading them. And they've helped her reading skills to where she's now up to Dr. Seuss books.I've started sending the same series to my friend's kid, who recently turned six, with the same result -- she loves them.The author clearly knows what attracts young children to reading. Recommended.

Great for summer reading
My son loves reading these books to me. Great to keep up with his reading progress going into first grade. He loves animals and science and these books are a great fit.

Perfect for kindergarten independent reading!
I LOVE these books! They are easy to read with exciting photographs and interesting non-fiction topics like plants, animals and weather These books are perfect for my "Reader's Cafe" where my students will be reading independently on their instructional level. I solved the problem of the "flimsy sewed binding" by reinforcing the spine of the book with clear packing tape. I am looking forward to seeing my students engaged and exciting about reading!Thank you Scholastic.

These are great and the only level E & F readers I ...
These are great and the only level E & F readers I was able find. However I wonder if they are really level E & F as my child read easily right away. Still a great buy and love the learning at the same time, but just wondered about that.

Worth every penny.
These books are wonderful, we started at A books and worked up to G-h. They made it much easier to teach my son to read so I would say worth every penny. These books focus on all the same things the teacher is teaching at the 1st grade level so for me they were spot on. I would say Kinder to maybe second grade would benefit from this line of books depending on the strength of your reader.

Definitely Buy!
These are adorable, similar to the little readers. They are small paper books with one to two sentences per page. The photography gives it a "National Geographic" feel, which we love. Educational, fun, simple fact learning excellence. Perfect for young or beginning readers.
