Good to know

Questions parents ask us.

These stories follow a planned sound sequence, so your child can sound out the whole book instead of guessing from the pictures. They read to you, not the other way around. Each book comes with a parent guide so you know how to help when they get stuck.

Start with Set 1 if your child can blend words with three or four sounds and still needs practice reading short decodable stories. Start with Set 2 if those words are consistently easy and they are ready for longer words and stories. The free two-minute quiz can help you choose.

The books work on their own once your child can blend sounds into words. If they are not blending yet, the Blending Words Course teaches you how to get them there, and the Learning to Blend Words Kit puts the course and the materials together.
