Functional Developmental Levels (FDL)
MindBuilders’ Picture Books List: FDL 4 - 5
Recommended Books:
· The Gruffalo - by Julia Donaldson
· Things I like - by Anthony Browne
· Bet you can’t - by Penny Dale
· Not now, Bernard - by David McKee
AVOID electronic books with buttons to press, batteries or that make noises. These are machines not books, and they encourage solitary button-pressing. Your child may like them but they do NOT encourage mental, social or language development. In fact they delay it and are expensive.
