""As a former kindergarten teacher and now a homeschool mom, this book is the perfect transition from letters and sounds to reading simple CVC words. I love that it offers multiple ways to engage the student by providing a fun story to read, followed by tracing CVC words that were in the story, and then a fun game/activity to go along with each story! The illustrations and bright colors are so cheerful and inviting! Would highly recommend!"" --Jessica Hurst, former kindergarten teacher, now homeschool mom ""As a kindergarten teacher, I find this resource to be so valuable! I am asked all the time what parents can purchase to help kindergarteners read at home. This resource answers that question! Each book builds in difficulty. The author focuses on words that can be decoded and provides early readers with repetitive words to build confidence and solidify those words that are frequently found in books. Crystal Radke has the experience and knows exactly what your kindergartener needs when they are beginning to read."" --Bonnie Hunter Marlowe, author and kindergarten teacher - Teachers in the Word
