These books are horrible. I bought these for my 4 year old, who is just starting to learn to read. Each page has only a few words on it, but the words are not easy or pre-reader words like claimed.Examples of pages: "The headmistresses know Professor Popov", "Friends write together", "I am a daughter", etc..I recommend BOB books for learning to read, they are much better suited for the task.
The book is not at the level of introductory readers. Check out some words kids are supposed to read: headmistresses, Baileywick, Whatnaught. Many more special names. The stories are not well connected and at times easy to guess.For example, in one book: there are 5 sentences which formed like this:A knows BB knows CC knows DD knows E ...Seriously, what a creative way to fill a book. My daughter can easily decipher the pattern and in this book she only needs to read 6 words at total. Such repetitions are in most of the books. I certainly do not recommend this set.
I love these books! My kindergarten daughter just received them and read 5 in a row, with help.The thing with first reader books is that they are usually boring. "See Jane sit. See Jane jump. See Jane eat" is boring, and boring discourages future reading. This book is simple but still interesting.Example: "Amber feels bored," was one page, and it shows a picture of Sofia singing, her parents clapping, and a possibly-jealous Amber yawning in boredom. Even though the words are simple, the picture was engaging and kept her reading. Another page reads, "Clover feels hungry," and shows a bunny eating in the garden. Again, more discussion about why Clover might be hungry. She wasn't familiar with the word "hungry" and had trouble sounding it out. However, I don't think that's a bad thing. Her teacher says a book which is at her reading level should have mostly familiar words, but a few that are new to her.Another book reads: "I smile when I am happy/I cry when I am sad/I frown when I am upset/I yawn when I am tired." Many of these words (like smile, when, happy, sad) are kindergarten-level sight words, so it was nice to reinforce them.Another book has much more repetition, so is more simple: "the baby bird sits/The baby bird sings/The baby bird stands/The baby bird flies..."This is a harder reading level than Bob books and is pretty close to Dr Suess books in terms of difficulty. I think they are perfect for a kindergartener, or for a first grader who needs a little more help.The pictures were also really nice. Great little set of books.
I was a bit skeptical in purchasing these books due to the negative reviews, but I decided to purchase them anyway. These books to me are perfect for preschoolers. I'm throwing a Sofia party with 6 toddlers and these books are great for them. These will be handed out and then each parent and child will read the book. It's great for learning due to its repetitive words and call to action questions at the end of each book. I also adore the "princess lesson" that each book is trying to teach! I plan on looking for the following stages once we reach that level. My child is almost 3.
Ok, I really love this set. LOVE it. My four year old got this for Christmas and it's a hit. She sits down with the box and reads every single book. The structure and word choices are excellent for children just learning to read; she had more trouble sounding out the character names than the actual words. The certificate is excellent for that sense of completion and building self esteem. We made a big deal of filling hers out and putting it on display and it's only increased her love of reading. The stickers are just a fun bonus.
I bought these books for my 4 year old to help her start reading. All the other books we have, we or her sister has read to her and she memorizes the words, so I wanted books that were all hers (and she could stop fooling people into thinking she knew how to read). Well, lo and behold, she read them on her own! She would sit in bed with the pack of books and reads to herself and to whoever was around! These were great starter books, and with Kindergarten starting in a few weeks, she is reading well beyond these books, but still brings them to bed with her every night to read on her own.
Love these SIMPLE Learn to Read books! My daughter is a Sofia DIE HARD, so they were a great tool to get her interested in learning to read! Books contain colorful, vivid images, and big bold words that are easy to read and point out as I'm reading. My daughter was super excited about the two sticker sheets that came with it, as well. The carrying case is great (sturdy!) so we can put the books away when we are finished reading, so that none will get bent in travel (or by little bro!).
My 4 year old daughter loves Sofia and absolutely loves these books! She has read all of them over and over again. They are very simple for a beginning reader. There are a few names and longer words that were hard for her to sound out but once we read through it together once she didn't miss it the next time. The pictures are great and really make the very short stories a lot better. My 2 year old daughter loves these books as well. She can flip through them over and over and they are just the right size. She even mimics her sister and has picked up the important parts of telling the story.
