Thanks for all the suggestions! I didn't recognize the name Eastman at first but after looking at the books in Amazon I sure do.
I was worried about the Bob books because what I saw on the internet.. well, they reminded me the Dick and Jane books, which I'm not too enthused about. But I can definitely do Dr. Seuss and Eastman. The other suggestions you guys mentioned too look good so I'm going to see if I can pick them up cheap somewhere.
But ColinsMum brings up a good point... when do you know it's a good time to introduce these? DD certainly loves reading and finding words. She also asks me to write words for her sometimes too and definitely requests certain letters/numbers. Do you think it could still be too early, though?
Oh, my little one also loves Spot books and is getting lots of sight word vocab from them. He now has about 30 words he can read outside of context (ie on plain white paper), and many others he recognizes in books. We don't do formal reading programs or flash cards or anything like that, so he must be picking it up from reading the stories together. I'm a whole language fan because it's working in our house, but I'm not 100% sure exactly what I'm doing right! LOL!
DD doesn't have quite that many... maybe just under 10? But we're the same, I am WAAAYYY too lazy for flashcards! And, well, never had the desire to do them in the first place. But I think she's constantly seeing DH and myself read so that probably makes a big difference (I know it was the same for me, my dad's a bookaholic, and surprise, surprise, I was an early reader too). It's funny, she'll even take out our science textbooks and flip through them and the other day I had a shirt with differential equations and integrals on it and she was asking me what they were.
