“I have two small children, Leah who is 5 & ¾’s and Lillian who is 3 & ½. Both children LOVE the Keen-to-Read books. Both children like the cartoon-style of the books and their bright, bold colours. Leah quickly warmed to “Ted”, the little boy who is leaning new words at school. Every time we read a book in this series to her, she recounts some reading/learning activity that she has recently done in school which the books remind her of. She is fascinated that she can read books that Ted is reading, such as “Me and The Bee”.
Lillian is very attracted to the shorter books, like “Me and The Bee”, “That Word Me” and “What Am I”. She has begun to recognise a few words in having had these books read to her – words like “look” and “me” and “bee”. She loves helping to find the fairy’s wand at the end of “Me and The Bee”. Leah is now capable of reading the shorter books to Lillian – which I have particularly liked as it creates a positive reading interaction for both children to enjoy together.
This set of books is very cleverly designed to get children thinking about words, colours and concepts – a little reminiscent of some of the better Dr. Seuss books – where a word with multiple meanings is used in various settings or words and colours are associated to make the reader think about what they are reading. These are a great resource for parents at home wanting to encourage pre-schoolers and young primary school children to read.”
