Luckily, we have access to a great site where you can go for books that are leveled for young readers as well as more detailed books with voice audio!
Here's how to access Epic! Books:
Once you're logged on, each student will have their own picture and name. Simply click on the name (not the picture) to get into your account!
Finding leveled books: To find books that are appropriate for kindergarten reading, click on the F&P icon close to the top of the page. It looks like this:
Once there, you can start by going through some of the the Level "A" books located in the row that looks like this:
For example, you may find a book that looks like this:
That has familiar pattern sentences like this:
If some of these books seem a little challenging, that's ok! Just like when we had our home reading, try to find 2 books that you can re-read over several days and keep practicing.
Remember some of our home reading strategies:
1. Read by memory
2. Read the pictures
3. Identify the letters
4. Recognize sight words
5. Read words.
If those books seem a little easy for your reader, you can move on to the next row. I always like to give students one book that is a little easier and one that is a little challenging!
Looking for more? After practicing your home reading, why not explore some of the other great features. For example, if you click on the "Read to Me" icon or the "Videos" icon you can find stories with more details that can be read to you!
