I am so excited to tell you about the new Beehive Reader 1 from the same folks who brought us All About Spelling. 
A silver medal winner in the Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards, Beehive Reader 1 is the first in a new series of readers that correlates with All About Spelling. It is also the first peek into a new curriculum slated to be released this year called All About Reading. By the end of 2010, All About Learning expects to have published four more readers and a teacher’s manual. In fact, they’re being illustrated right now!
I am completely in love with this series and I cannot wait to get the next one coming this spring. Feast your eyes on these beautiful illustrations.
There are some wonderful features to notice about this book, such as:
- the pages are printed on non-glare paper
- it utilizes natural phrasing and line-breaks for smooth reading
- light underlining helps students with tracking (keeping on the same line all the way across a line of writing) but is light enough to not be a distraction
- nice, slightly-heavy feel hardcover – this book feels so good to hold onto
I really, really, really love this book. I wish all my son’s readers were like this book. He loves it as well and proved it by devouring all ten stories in two days! Seriously!
I will update you when the new books are available, but until then you should just go buy a copy of Beehive Reader 1. : ) like… yesterday!
