LOL at lucounu--I have to kinda agree.

But, she could never read a late second grade leveled chapter book like a "magic treehouse" or "Ivy and Bean" book even though she could decode most of it. Those are a roadblock. Instead, we have gotten out some of her favorite picture books that are third grade or above.

Right. This is where my DS is, too--he could decode those books, probably (and he does pick up chapter books and read a paragraph here and there) but it's way too much for him to tackle now, which is fine. Picture books are amazing and span such a range. Honestly, I'm pleased as punch to be done with our brief stint in easy readers. I mean, I love Cynthia Rylant, but.
