Who Doesn't Love Mrs. Wishy Washy?

While doing my student teaching 4 years ago, I discovered Mrs. Wishy Washy. I remember my class LOVED her and she has now become a favorite of mine. I was beyond excited when I discovered that the author, Joy Cowley, has written a new set of early readers that feature this lovable character! 

I was recently contacted by Hameray Publishing and I received complimentary products for review. All opinions are my own and this is not a compensated post.

I reviewed two different types of Mrs. Wishy Washy books and both are perfect for young readers. The first is part of The Joy Cowley Collection
These are leveled readers that feature Mrs. Wishy Washy and all the farm animals. There are several different levels and they are color coordinated so you can easily organized them depending on their level. You can see all of the different titles Hameray Publishing offers in their catalog and you can request a free catalog here. I love looking at all the different choices of Mrs. Wishy Washy books they have to offer. These leveled readers would be a PERFECT addition to a Joy Cowley author study!

The other type of book I reviewed was part of the Early Birds series. This series is perfect for kids that are just starting to learn to read. The word count is located on each back cover of the book and this set of books contains a lower number of words that are easy for early emergent readers to read and comprehend. These books would be great for your strugglers!
