Recommended age: from 2 years old.
"I Can Read" is a very popular set of books abroad, which has been selling well for decades, and is full of affection and warmth for parents and children. There are many series, and almost every family abroad has some. The picture is simple, the story is interesting, and the language is simple and vivid, which is very attractive to preschool children.
The whole series is very first, my first and 1-4, my first is mainly for parents to read to their children. The difficulty of 1 is that children are interested in the fonts printed in books when they begin to read the pronunciation of a single word, and use books of this level. Usually a few words, one or two short sentences; Level 2, children can read some by themselves, but they still need the help of adults to use this level of books; At level 3, children can read independently.
2. Oxford Reading Tree Oxford Tree Series
Recommended age: from the age of 3.
The author and painter of Reading Tree also won the "order of the british empire" and the "Outstanding Achievement Award" awarded by Oxford University Press for their great achievements in children's reading. This is an award that can only be won by people who have made outstanding contributions in the professional field, which shows the excellent degree of this set of books.
There are many branches on the Oxford reading tree. Many of the following branches are imported from China, and many are not. It is not entirely composed of stories. It is already a classic brand, so it is a life story at first, then an adventure story, then a spelling story, a popular science story, a bridge series and a classic novel, so it is suitable for a wide range of ages. There are basically books suitable for people aged 3- 12.
3. Pearson Children's English Graded Reading
Suggested age: starting at the age of 6.
Pearson children's English graded reading is a famous graded reading collection of Pearson Group in Britain. At present, a * * * has published 1- 12 and a *** 156 picture books.
1-6 is a story book, and each level has four themes of 16 story. The four themes are four fairy tales, four fantasy stories, four life stories and four animal stories.
Grades 7-9 belong to the Bridge Book, that is, multi-word small pictures, and clearly indicate that there are many good writing materials in the chapters.
At the level of 10- 12, the map is even smaller, and the figures occupy most of it, so junior high school students can basically read it.
Because Pearson is a pure story book, my mother thinks that if it is difficult to understand, it is good to explain it in Chinese first, or it is also helpful to communicate with the children in Chinese after the speech.
Generally speaking, this set has a large span, and beginners are likely to retreat after one or two sets because of its "difficulty", so it is more suitable for primary school students to start reading. If you want to use it for preschool children, recommend the corresponding "children's edition". The price/performance ratio reflects the value of interaction more than the simple reading value, which will be more suitable for enlightenment.
4.PM Series-Experience English
Suggested age: starting at the age of 6.
There is a famous graded reading series PM series in America. Later, domestic higher education publishing house selected some essences from PM series and published this set of Experiencing English.

So there are 36 sets of books and more than 300 books. 1A-6A is basically a shortened short story, while 7A is some classic fairy tales, and 8A and 9A are more difficult. If the first-grade children begin to be enlightened, it is recommended to start buying from the formal level. B series is popular science, and the pictures are all true, which is great. C series is mathematics, but the requirements of mathematics for Chinese correspondence are much stricter and deeper than those of popular science.
The supporting audio of the experience is a major feature, the sound quality is very good, sometimes just one or two sentences, but there will be songs and onomatopoeia (underwater sound), which are all places that attract children.
5. climbing english
Recommended age: from 2 years old.
Different from other graded reading, this set of books is very controversial. Because climbing english is published in China, please note that it is a set of advanced graded books published in China, not an imported version.

In short, it suits the national conditions.

There are exercises for parents' manuals and students' reading records at each level. Students' reading practice is a small exercise for each story, but it is slightly more difficult. Some writing or reading exercises are suitable for primary school students.
This set of books is particularly popular because the story lines are particularly interesting, and the themes of each set are particularly diversified, which is a great advantage. A set of ten books may cover three or four topics, which is very helpful for children to broaden their subjects and horizons.
