Chickadee Readers teach your kids to love reading.

Chickadee Readers contains

1. My First Stories: 40 fun, illustrated saddle-stitched books and 4 velcro boxes designed for kids to easily box and unbox the books
2. 31 illustrated flashcards to teach phonics (short vowels, long vowels, and consonants)
3. A Map to Reading poster (16"x20") to track your child’s progress 
4. 40 Unique stickers to fill your Map to Reading
5. A solid slipcase to contain the whole set (6.5" x 4.25" x 6.5")

Chickadee Readers is designed for rising kindergarteners who are ready to learn to read, or for 1st-graders who would like more reading practice.

The books progress slowly and steadily through basic phonics: over the course of the four sets, the books move from Lexile Measure 80L to 560L. Your child will learn short vowels, long vowels, and consonant blends, and then practice putting all of it together to make long stories. Along the way there’s plenty of review, so everything your child learns stays learned.

With colorful illustrations, rollicking stories, and whimsical characters, the Chickadee Bundle will nurture a lifelong love for books.
