Written in an easy-to-read and engaging style with many examples of the different types of words for blending activities and everyday application of reading skills, this learn to read workbook provides children with a strong phonemic awareness base and confidence in decoding words when reading. It is great for homeschoolers, teachers, or parents who want to use a comprehensive first-time reader program starting with A-Z letters, and ending with reading comprehension of a whole story; no prior knowledge required; ages 3-6.

Why Parents/Teachers Love: Systematic and Comprehensive Coverage — 109 accumulation chapters lead children from single letters to fluent reading of stories — no holes, no additional books needed. Creates True Confidence — Simple explanations with rules of word families and blending activities allow children to independently decode words they have not seen before, providing less frustration to children. Parent and Teacher Friendly — Ready-to-use lessons with examples; works well as a homeschooling, center, or daily practice resource. Proven Early Literacy Base — Phonics standard based and result driven methods that predict long-term success of reading. Affordable and All-in-One Resource – One download replaces more than one costly workbook and offers high quality profession instruction. Target Audience: This workbook is designed for children ages 3–7 in preschool (Pre-K) or early grade 1. Pre-k – Ideal for teaching children to recognize the letters of the alphabet, the sounds they make, and the beginning of their ability to read (Chapters 1-33). Kindergarten – This workbook provides a variety of activities that correlate to the core objectives found in the K-12 English language arts curriculum such as: recognizing and reading short/long vowel sounds, identifying consonant blends/digraphs, and writing simple sentences (Chapters 34-102). Early Grade 1 – This workbook can be used to reinforce and build on skills associated with r-controlled vowels, diphthongs, sight words, and text comprehension (Chapters 103-109). This workbook’s skills are foundational and will assist children who are developing as readers; however, the skills may be too easy for students in 2nd grade and above.
