It's in Dr. Seuss's honor and it is for books that are great for early readers. PD Eastman is similar to Dr. Seuss as well and has some good options.</p> <p>ETA: this year's winners: <a href="http://www.ala.org/awardsgrants/theodor-seuss-geisel-award" rel="nofollow">http://www.ala.org/awardsgrants/theodor-seuss-geisel-award</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-dr-seuss-books-are-good-for-new-readers#post-2008947 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 14:04:15 +0000 matador84 2008947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most Dr. Seuss books are written at pretty low levels and contain common sight words for young readers ages 5-7 or so.</p> <p>Scholastic has a book reader that might help. </p> <p><a href="http://www.scholastic.com/teachers/bookwizard/books-by/dr-seuss#cart/cleanup" rel="nofollow">http://www.scholastic.com/teachers/bookwizard/books-by/dr-seuss#cart/cleanup</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-dr-seuss-books-are-good-for-new-readers#post-2008943 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 14:01:26 +0000 mrbee 2008943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MommySLP: I worry that those books have the same issues in therms of holding interest though? Mat sat, Sam sat, etc.</p> <p>Maybe it's too much to ask a simple book that kids can sound out to be interesting? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-dr-seuss-books-are-good-for-new-readers#post-2008939 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 13:58:11 +0000 MommySLP 2008939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: not Dr. Seuss, but have you ever seen BOB books? They have all different levels as you learn new skills.

Honestly most of the books are pretty boring, and I'm wondering if there are Dr. Seuss books that are fun but still easy enough for a new reader.</p> <p>What Dr. Seuss books are good for new readers, but still interesting? </p>
