Reviews

I feel like I had a little bit of a hard time keeping kids' attention with this for some odd reason. It's a good book that talks about letters.

[Sarah · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book and it's companion books (Tog the Dog, Pat the Cat, etc) are perfect for the pre-readers's first jump into reading alone. They use chunking/rhyming to make sounding out words easy. They are short, so your reader doesn't get bored/frustrated/tired. They are also clever with fun illustrations.

[Ruth Ann · Rating 3 out of 5]

This Fun with Phonics book explores the short e with a simple story and a spinning word wheel. Young readers will like the interactive nature of the book and the bright pictures but the story is too simple to be memorable.
