Help kids ages 3 to 5 learn to read using simple stories that focus on phonics.

Learning phonics, a technique that relates specific sounds with letters, is an important skill for new readers to master. The Learn to Read Phonics Storybook is a colourful, confidence-building book that will help little learners gain fundamental reading skills for preschool and kindergarten while having fun!

Go beyond other learn-to-read books for kids 3-5 with:

25 funny stories - Each story utilises the word families and predictable sound patterns commonly used in phonics. Kids will delight in the tale of a pig with a wig who can dance a jig and laugh at a fox named Jox who can dance in a box.

Essential word families - Word families contain the same ending patterns. For example, cat, sat, and mat. These stories feature many of the word families kids need to know to become strong early readers and boost reading comprehension skills.

Educational activities - This top choice in phonics books includes fun-filled reading games at the end of each story to help kids identify and remember the sounds they just read. They'll trace letters, do word searches, and more.

This beginning reader book introduces kids to phonics progressivelyβ€”stories go from easiest to most challenging to help them build confidence. By the time they finish, they might just ask to read to you!

Order the Learn to Read Phonics Storybook now to help teach them how to read using the science of reading and stories they'll love.
