All journeys have a starting place.
This is a weekly place to find books and tools
that you may use with readers at the start of their reading journey.
Join in the conversation at #road2reading.
One of my favorite things to do at NCTE is roam the exhibit hall to check out new books and talk to the publishers. This year on Saturday I was on the lookout for early readers and nonfiction picture books. Today I am sharing the early readers I found. Check back tomorrow to see the nonfiction picture books!

Thank you so much, Michele. These look terrific! I really appreciate your tracking down new beginning readers and chapter books. I had fun pulling together mysteries for beginning readers this week.
