Debunking the Need for ‘Reading Comprehension’
Finding a new book for my eight-year-old brother is both a joy and a struggle.

Book List for Early Readers
Small children collect data in an active way, but do not try to sort it into a contextual understanding, and they do not question the truth or relevancy of what they’re learning. When we give a child a book to read, and they soak it in without question or deep understanding, it’s important to give them a book with words they can read, but the actual content does not need to be understandable.
I apologize, but the search engine can be a bit finicky. First try usually gets you a ‘no results’ message, but just push that enter button again, and what you’re looking for should pop up. Happy Reading!
