World of Reading Marvel: Meet the Super Heroes!-Pre-Level 1 Boxed Set Paperback – Illustrated, September 26, 2017

This little book set has been perfect for our Kindergartener to practice his reading!

This is a fun set for early readers. My emerging reader was able to figure out and sound out many of the words on his own, gaining confidence, and the familiar characters kept him engaged and made him want to read more. He took the set to school with him to read during free time and reading breaks, and many of his friends asked to borrow the books to read as well.

I’m giving these 5 stars purely because my 2 year old wants me to read every one of these all day every day. He’s obsessed with superhero’s and loves these short books.I don’t know if these are early reader books, since the sentences are not as simple and the vocabulary is not basic…but entertainment value is spot on. I wouldn’t recommend for an early/beginner reader to practice with.

I was teaching a beginning reader how to read. He hated to read the stories in the phonics program I was using. It was like pulling teeth to get him to read them. He loved Marvel characters and talked about them all the time. I found these books and bought them. He loved reading them over and over and over again. That repeated reading helped him to not only learn to read the words in these books, but he also learned to recognize those same words in other contexts. I continued with the instruction from the phonics program but allowed him to read one or more of these books at the end of each lesson. They were huge motivators! Reading them gave him the confidence that he could read! We read these books until he could read them at the independent level, then moved on to another series at a higher reading level.

The pictures in these are great. Although the sentences are very short, I do not think these should be the first reader books you get. They're doable once you have some basics down (we're on the 4th set of Bob books) and they're not discouragingly long. Some of the words are more difficult like: special, together, galaxy, etc. My son was still able to get some of these words by context (he's a super hero fan and we read a lot). My favorite part of these books is that when they came, my son insisted on reading them right away and although he struggled a bit initially he kept at it and can now read them all. I regularly scour the library and have checked out many first readers, but nothing has been as motivating as this. He feels like he's reading "real" books now.

My kids love these, my beginner reader does need help with certain words but the majority of them she can do. They are short so she feels accomplished when she reads one (or 7) and my toddler son absolutely loves them. These are why my kids have fallen in love with superheros! Would say they are great for maybe 3 to 6 year olds.

I got these for my 5-6 year old nephew while in Kindergarten. He loves the Avengers. He really liked reading them. It was difficult but he really wanted to do it, so it worked perfect to help him learn to read. His little 4 year old brother will take them and tell his own stores with the pictures and that might be even better. I know when he gets a little older he will love learning to read from these also.

My son is 4 and started bringing home books to read from preschool over the last few months. He was very excited about reading at first but began to get frustrated over time. I thought if I could find some books about things he was interested in (huge Marvel fan) he would get excited again. These books are wonderful! There are definitely occasional words that aren't really beginner reading words, and terms and names a child wouldn't understand well if they haven't watched any Marvel movies, but it doesn't hurt to give it a try and expand their vocabulary even further! Really happy with this purchase.
