Right for your child if

Is this the right book set?

  • They can sound out short words and want real stories.
  • You want books your child can sound out, not memorize.
  • A story a day, about 5 minutes. That is enough.

Every story follows the Toddlers Can Read sequence, so your child practices with sound patterns they have already learned.

Good to know

Questions parents ask us.

Many early picture books include words a beginning reader has not been taught to sound out yet, so children end up guessing from the pictures. These books follow a planned sound sequence, so your child reads every word themselves.

No. Many families use the books on their own for daily reading. The Blending Words Course adds the step by step teaching if you want the full plan.

You get both sets in sequence. Start with Set 1 if your child can blend short words but still needs practice reading them in stories. Move to Set 2 once words with three or four sounds are consistently easy. The free two-minute quiz can help you choose.

Every US order is covered by a 30-day money back guarantee. Email support@toddlersread.com with your order number within 30 days of delivery, and send the items back in their original condition and packaging. And if your child is still learning sounds, the books will be waiting on the shelf when blending clicks.
