YRTMIRTY: Very Short Stories to Read Together

I bought approx 6 new books for my 7yr old grandson and I to read together. And out of them all - this is his absolute favorite! It is very interactive. He reads a color-coded paragraph, then I read a color-coded paragragh - then there is a 3rd color-coded paragraph that we read together. He is very engaged while reading, and loves the fact that we each have "assigned" paragraphs to read. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS TYPE BOOK. I shall be looking to see if there are others to purchase.

This series is so much fun! Keeps early and late stages readers engaged. Early readers will love the predictibility, and late stagers will just have fun. I get daily requests to read this out loud in groups or one on one.

My son loved this book.

Great Grand daughter loved this book. Fun reading together. She picked up reading very easy and wanted to keep going.

We tried one of the books in this series and it went over like gangbusters. So, we've gotten a few more, and they have all been hits. The stories, (or fables, or tall tales, or poems - depending on the book), are fun and the opportunity for interaction and independent and confident reading is wizard. Very happy with these. And a nice switch from predictable cartoon franchise style books.

I have used this book in my school library for years. Now that I am in a new library (new for me) I had to purchase this book to share. Wow! What a reception it is getting. Two cute little 2nd grade boys love reading from it at recess. Sixth graders, from ESL to GATE students are volunteering to read from it to their classes. Eventually everyone in my new school will come to love it as my old one did. The stories are adorable and make reading aloud fun. Recommended for everyone of all ages from reluctant readers to those that just want to perform. As long as you have two people to share the reading you will love it.

Great way to spend some time with young readers!

I bought this book based on the reviews from amazon. When I got it, I admit I was a bit disappointed. The rhymes, I thought, were not exactly very interesting and each little piece repeats "I read to you and you'll read to me."Much to my surprise, my 6 year old, who is beginning to read, loves this book. She wants to read it every night. Sometimes she picks to read the purple lines (lines are color-coded so parents and kids can take regular turns). Then she switches to the red lines for a second read. The repetition at the end of each rhyme, which I disliked, gives her much delight because she can read those lines without hesitation. So this is a great book for kindergarteners who are just beginning to learn to read. I can imagine six months down the road my daughter would much prefer something more sophisticated. But now she loves this book.

We really liked this book because it was good fun to read together, the stories were interesting and reading together encouraged nteractive learning. We would definitely recommend this book for primary school aged children.

Amazing book where the child can read with an adult and the. Together. Great for twins or kids at similar reading level

an amazing book to read with your kid. wonderful rhymes to read together and very funny topics.illustrations are well done too. I recommend it for kids from 3/4 on.

見開き2ページで1話完結の対話式お話が　１４話書かれています。それぞれが読むパートが色分けされているので、一緒に本を開いて順に読む、または同時に読む場所がわかりやすくなっています。どの話も、ライムで文ができているのでリズミカルに楽しく読めます。それぞれの話は、ビギナーの子供２人で読める話、大人と子供で読む話、大きな子と小さな子で読む話など幅広い読者を想定して作ってあります。"The two mice"では、２匹の鼠の名前を何にしようか言い合います。He and she? Dot and Dash? Squeal and Squeak? To and Fro?"I hate my hat"では、1人がかぶっている帽子について話します。I hate my hat! I think it's nice.I hate my hat! You've said that twice.どの話も　最後は"You read to me, I'll read to you."のセリフで終わります。誰かに読んでもらう絵本、自分で読む本という従来の絵本の域を超えたおもしろい感覚の本です。お互いに読みあい、聞きあうという２つの技能を備えた本だと思います。本の大きさも重さも２人でかかえるのにちょうどよく、挿絵もかわいらしいです。

Already had this book but it got damaged re ordered another and every other in the series they’re great quick stories and ways to learn. Definitely recommend
