If you are a frequent follower of Booking Mama, then you know I'm a big fan of the Toon Books. And not only am I a fan, but Booking Son loves these books. For those of you who don't know, Toon Books are easy-to-read comics for early readers; and I think they are just a fantastic concept to gets kids reading.
One of the most recent Toon releases is CHICK & CHICKIE PLAY ALL DAY by Claude Ponti. This graphic novel is for children who are really just beginning to read. There are only a few words per page and there is also lots of repetition. (You can check out some sample pages here.) Booking Son read this book in less than a minute, but I know just a few years ago, he would have loved it!
Chick and Chickie are two friends who certainly know how to entertain each other. They make masks and scare each other and then they decide to play school with the letter "A." As they play with the letter A, it makes different sounds representing the long and short A sounds. At the end of the book, Chick and Chickie decide to play with B tomorrow. Sequel, perhaps?
All of the Toon Books have specifics about the Lexile Level and Guided Reading Level. In the case of CHICK & CHICKIE PLAY ALL DAY, the Lexile Level is BR and the Guided Reading Level is E. There are also lesson plans included for this comic. All of these resources make these books perfect for home and school.
