""As a former kindergarten teacher and now a homeschool mom, the books in this set are the perfect transition from letters and sounds to reading simple CVC words. 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 kindergartners 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 kindergartner needs when they are beginning to read."" -- Bonnie Hunter Marlowe, author and kindergarten teacher - Teachers in the Word ""Phonics is an essential part of learning how to read, and this is a perfect fit for your classroom or home. It is developmentally appropriate, colorful, and engaging for your little learners and will encourage them to start reading independently!"" -- Kristina Harrill, Sweet for Kindergarten, sweetforkindergarten.com
