My daughter is 5 years old and just starting kindergarten. She is a beginning reader, able to read all the Dick and Jane books and many Dr. Seuss books.
I bought this book because my daughter wanted it. She's into Disney princesses. This book is a collection of Disney princess stories for level 1 and level 2 readers. My daughter is a level 1 reader. In the level 1 stories of this book, the sentences are nice and short, the font is large, and there is usually only one sentence per page. It appears designed for children to read to themselves. However, the vocabulary is too difficult. Many of the words are not beginning reader sight words and are also not easy to sound out. She had trouble reading it and decided she did not like the book.
Now, I could read the level 1 stories to my daughter, which I have. They are not an adult-read-to-child friendly stories. Sentences tend to be choppy, stories are lacking and any rhyming is awkward at best.
The level 2 stories are more interesting. An adult may enjoy reading them to a child or a child of that level may easily read them herself. The sentences flow more smoothly and the vocabulary is more appropriate.
This book is best suited for first grade level students. Level 1 students will find this book too difficult to read.
