What is SM Reading Now?

We followed the recommendations at the end of Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons.  There is a series of books by Margaret Hillert.  SM loves the Dear Dragon series.  The repetitive nature of the book helps build her confidence and she enjoys each of them.  There are other book series available:  Easy Stories, Fairy Tales and Folklore, and Let's Play.  Most of the books are about 28 pages.  At the end there is a reading reinforcement section that covers phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension, and a word list.  I highly recommend finding these books at the library.  SM now likes to read a book at bedtime as well as during the day.  I had an awesome Mommy moment the other night:  she told me "Mommy, you were right, reading is fun!"  Isn't that what this is all about?
