Thomas the Tank Engine taught my son to read. Without Thomas, Percy and the rest of the gang, I don't think Dave would have ever slowed down enough actually practice. And while he loved having me read the stories, he wanted to 'do it himself!'
The Steamies provide EXCELLENT motivation for little guys to learn to read, especially as there are books at many different levels. From books suitable for beginning readers (with a little experience under their belts) to those capable of reading at the 3rd and 4th grade levels.
