anyone has got recommendations on a reading series for emergent readers (aged 3)?

Check out the Rigby literacy series available from a co called Edventure Books. Google or ask directory assistance.
Also from same company - Windows on Literacy (Nat Geo).
Others available are Oxford Reading Tree, PM readers, Collins  from other suppliers.
Hope this helps.

i don't like Rigby - personally i find their emergent readers boring.  not stimulating as other books.

interestingly i found that the creaters of the popular PM Readers have a new improved series called Giltedge Readers. i've got a set and my child loves it. 

i got it via mailorder through a distributor called Learning Needs Centre, look-up their name in a search engline and you should find them. 

if not just look key Audiblox Singapore and you will find them. i found them by accident while searching for dyslexia resources for my child.

they also sell the computer book version of Oxford Reading Tree.

Take your kid outside to let him/her play in the dirt. A three year should not be being taught to read. Totally ridiculous.

[Dirt & Books]

to teacher, how do you know the 3 year old is not also playing in the dirt and getting dirty?  they may have an interest in both.

my child attends a local preschool and was bringing books home and could read by 4.  not as early as 3 but the interest was there.  she is also the outdoorsy type and loves playing in the dirt and is a great swimmer.

i don't think the OP was suggesting chaining the 3 year to books for hours on hours on end.

just because you may have been taught "teaching" in a different country to singapore, doesn't make it the best way.  different methods and ages suit different kids and if there's an interest why not buy a few books.

Where do you teach?

[Reading for Pleasure]

I don't think it's too much of a generalisation to say that as parents most of us read to our children.  So why not have them learn some reading skills if their interested and capable?  Most parents teach their kids the alphabet, counting and colors, so why the naysayers about reading?

Is two too early to read, well for my daughter it is.

[Funny..]

Hahahahahhhaaaaaaa

Ladybird has a few series; I had 'Peter & Jane' so my kid's got a few of them, now, plus some from other series. Look through places like Popular or Bookaburra, and see what grabs your fancy
