Teach your child to read while having fun! Simple, patterned stories and strong picture cues help children build essential skills in Level 1 of this award-winning learn-to-read series.

Each booklet is filled with hilarious pictures and stories that will keep children eager to read them repeatedly! Inside the CD binder-like package, you'll find 10 story booklets with colorful illustrations, 40 reward stickers to encourage completion and rereading, extended activity sections, and a Parent/Teacher Guide for effective use. Ideal for ages 4 and up, Level 1 NIR readers emphasize short-vowel sounds, simple consonant sounds, and beginning sight word introduction.
