Chickadee Readers: My First Stories Bundle (Sets 1-4)

Chickadee Readers teach your kids to love reading. The Chickadee Bundle features all four of the My First Stories boxed sets. It also includes a deck of Pre-K Phonics flashcards (covering short vowels, long vowels, and every consonant), plus a Map to Reading poster to track your child’s progress (complete with 40 unique stickers). The bundle 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.   30 Day Money-back Guarantee Love it, or get your money back.

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! ★★★★★ "Chickadee Readers are effective at drawing kids into having fun while reading! Highly recommend for any young readers and parents looking to have light-hearted and enjoyable experiences as they learn to read." Kandice H. former Kindergarten teacher ★★★★★ " 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." Kalen Brockwalder Logos School Principal ★★★★★ "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." Laura L. former 1st grade teacher 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.
