Take a "Flip Book" peak inside these books!

These early readers are phonetically based and contain simple stories that young children will find enjoyable and entertaining. Each story has a beginning, middle and an ending. The stories are gently humorous, while honoring nature, animals and the environment.

The six books use simple words that the early reader will easily grasp. They have been carefully chosen by a reading specialist to help students advance from the short vowels to the silent "e" to the vowel combinations. At the back of this book is a list of sight words that should be reviewed with the child before reading the book.
