Unlock the joy of learning to read
No more tiresome, uninteresting early books.
With charming characters and amusing stories, Chickadee Readers make learning to read fun.
Why Jan and Anita wrote Chickadee.
How Chickadee Works
Classic Illustrations
Remember when kids books were well-drawn? Our kids deserve better than throw-away, black and white stick figures and lazy artwork. Each reader is beautifully illustrated by Mark Beauchamp.
Story Grip
Just because a story is for kids doesn't mean they have to be dumb. Chickadee set out to engage young kids with real stories with beginnings, middles, and ends.
Stair-step phonics
Every story and every book builds on the last. With lessons carefully crafted by highly experienced teachers, Chickadee sets a manageable pace of learning.
Real learning. Real fun.
We've packaged 60+ years of teaching experience into 4 sets of readers that engage kids and parents alike.
Chickadee makes step-by-step phonetic teaching easy and produces long-term reading confidence.
Kids love Chickadee. So do parents!
Created by two long-time teachers who wanted a better way to teach reading
Jan and Anita have spent their lives teaching kids to read. They realized the "best" options available are either out of print, poorly illustrated, or just plain confusing for kids.
Their innovative Chickadee Readers reflect the teaching methods they've perfected over the last four decades!
