Early Reader Series by Shelley Davidow

Early Reader Series by Shelley Davidow

These early readers are phonetically based and contain stories that young children will find enjoyable and entertaining. Each story has a beginning, middle and an ending. The stories are gently humorous while honoring nature, animals and the environment. The six books use simple words that the early reader will easily grasp. They have been carefully chosen by a reading specialist to help students advance from the short vowels to the silent "e" to the vowel combinations. At the back of this book is a list of sight words that should be reviewed with the child before reading the book.

About the Author and Illustrator: Shelley Davidow is originally from South Africa. Her young adult book, In the Shadow of Inyangani, was nominated for the first African Writer's Prize by Macmillan/Picador and BBC World. The author of numerous books, including The Wise Enchanter, Shelley lives in Florida (USA), where she is a class teacher at the Sarasota Waldorf School. "These books have enough humor and whimsy to capture the beginning reader's interest, the first critical step in any learning process. They are a sweetly artistic and practical source for inviting students into the world of reading. The repetition of phonemic patterns gives good practice; yet, there is enough variation to keep the reader attentive." - Nancy Blanning, co-author of Movement Journeys and Circle Adventures, spent 17 years as an early childhood Waldorf Teacher. She is currently the Educational Support Teacher and Therapeutic and Remedial Consultant at the Denver Waldorf School.
