Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Written by K–3 educator Nora Gaydos, these books provide a simple color-coded, step-by step approach to reading with the appropriate sequence of phonetic sounds and whole language necessary for the beginning reader. Humorous stories combined with zany illustrations will delight children while they learn to read. The simple repetitive text in each story builds page-by-page and more difficult skills are introduced book-by-book to reinforce a child's reading ability and foster confidence and independence in reading.

The cool CD-like package includes a magnetic closure and holds 10 removable storybooks, and a Parent Guide (see below.) One or more of the 40 incentive stickers provided can be placed in each book to extend the learning and to build other language skills.

Review:

"The greatest reading success comes from a balance of phonics and literature-based reading. Now I'm Reading successfully combines both to build confident, independent readers." Carmella K. Williams, former president, International Reading Association

Synopsis:

This set teaches kids the short vowel sounds with fun stories and words that enforce learning. Includes ten removable storybooks, a parent guide, one sheet of 40 stickers. Consumable.

These books are a wonderful way to get into the first level of reading. My son was struggling with the leveled readers from school because they threw too much at him at once. These simple, engaging books build reading confidence page by page by building on the page before. The text follows the 'rules' of phonics so the child can confidently sound all the words out. We had lots of giggles and enjoyment from the wonderful illustrations as well. By the end of the series my son's confidence had been boosted enough to tackle the school readers again. I am purchasing the next set and only wish I had found these sooner and that there were more!
