We have recently fallen in love with a new set of books thanks to Educents. They kindly sent us Life of Fred Beginning Readers Set #1 for this review and these books couldn’t have come at a better time!
My daughter, who is in 1st Grade, began Life of Fred Math this year and recently finished up Apples. She LOVES { I mean really loves} it. When I showed her the stack of reading books all about her beloved Fred and Kingie, she squealed with joy! She immediately asked to read them and could read them independently!
Here’s a video I made of Ladybug reading a couple of the books aloud. She was reading each book for the first time, you can hear her natural giggles and see her point out things in the books. She is thoroughly engaged mostly because she had already developed a love for these characters thanks to her Life of Fred Math.
If you are using Life of Fred math with your young child, I highly recommend looking at these books. I honestly had no idea how she would react to these but her joy far exceeded any expectations I had! She honestly just loves them!
I have even caught my boys picking them up and reading them. The books, of course, are too easy for my 4th and 8th grader, but that doesn’t mean they can’t enjoy them too! The Life of Fred Beginning Readers are recommended for ages 4 and up, and I would say a target age range is K-2. A child who already loves Fred and Kingie will probably love these books the most, because they expand on the stories shared in the math books.
