Perfect Gifts for Young Readers This Holiday Season!
If you have an young reader in your family, it can be challenging to find the right books that will help your child develop reading skills, confidence, and maintain his or her interest. Many publishers offer staged selections often labeled with headings such as "I Can Read" or "Step into Reading." Since each publisher has its own guidelines for each level, be sure to look carefully at a book before you or your child makes a selection. It is important that emerging readers are not frustrated. Here is a sample of some of the terrific, enjoyable books that will help develop reading skills.
