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 5.25" 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.

Quality Stories and Characters

Only thing will be how well they hold up with children use, but three kids at once, still most of it has been slightly bent paper that can be straightened out.

Great set, and fun stories. Wait and see how they hold up, as 3 1/2 year old is a little rough when he gets hold of them. 5 and 6 year old love them.

These are great readers with fun stories. The only thing I’m not fond of is the font—it confuses my kindergarteners.

The best!!

I am a homeschooling mom of nine children and have used many different reading programs. Before chickadee, I preferred teaching calculus to my teens over teaching the littles to read. The reading curriculums I’ve tried were tedious, long, and boring for everyone, and for my dyslexic, ADD, and ADHD, they were impossible. These books in contrast are fun! They increase in complexity in a logical manner. My children can’t wait to read each day! They love the cute illustrations and story line. I can’t say enough good about these books! I hope you write more of them!

What Teachers & Parents Say

★★★★★

"We want to teach kids a genuine love for reading but the truth is, the early stages are rarely enjoyable for kids or parents. Chickadee Readers offer a wonderful and much-needed tool to change this. The stories are captivating, funny, and full of truth. Nothing helps kids learn to read more than a love for stories. It is a joy to see them eagerly turning pages to find out what happens next."

"Before reading the Chickadee readers our biggest challenge was finding books that looked interesting at his level. It was also hard to find readers that reinforced phonics principles. My son got story grip and really loved having a new book to look forward to. The Chickadee readers were far more interesting and funny than other early readers."
