First Little Readers Parent Pack: Guided Reading Level B: 25 Irresistible Books That Are Just the Right Level for Beginning Readers

I ordered all 3 sets of these books for my Kindergartner. He already recognizes a bunch of sight words and I wanted to get a great collection of books that would give him lots of practice and lots of success! I taught reading enrichment classes to early readers for ~9 years, so I knew what I was looking for; these are perfect for getting a youngster started! Another reviewer complained that the sets did not differ in difficulty from A to B to C, but I have to disagree. In my picture, a book from set A is at the top, set B in the middle, and set C at the bottom. All three are alike in their simple sentence structure, but there are key differences. Set A books use a very short sentence, usually with only one word changing per page. This lets the child read independently, recognizing the pattern and using visual clues to figure out unknown words, thereby experiencing a lot of success and feeling pride in their reading skills. Set B uses slightly longer sentences or even two sentences per page, and the words that change frequently have more syllables. The pictures still help with figuring it out, though, so your child can move through the text comfortably, learning to not be intimidated by long words (very important!). Set C books seem to focus on words that have challenging phonics elements (like "grew" -- not an easy word to sound out until you've learned that digraph, which usually happens sometime in mid 1st grade) or longer and more diverse sentences with multi-syllabic words. Don't get me wrong; these books are little half steps in the reading process and are all early-mid Kindergarten level, but in setting up your child for success -- giving them confidence and the willingness to try -- these early experiences are crucial! I am very pleased with the purchase and am excited for my kid to try them. P.S. Other people reported getting some duplicates in their boxes; I did not. Seems to be random. Perhaps if you get a duplicate the seller could send you the right one. Customer image

Bought these to read with my 3 year old daughter to get her on her path to reading. 25 small books. Each book is about 6 pages long and contains one 6 to 8 word sentence and a graphic on each page. The sentences are simple and key words are often repeated throughout the pages. Simple enough to get them to memorize and or predict the words on the page without them actually physically reading the actual words. Recognition is a good first step to reading the actual words these books do a good job of fostering that. I admittedly was apprehensive when I opened the first book because they are so simple. I thought "I could make these myself" but they are working well and my daughter enjoys reading them with me.

Great if you have little ones learning to read!

After seeing how much my child enjoyed and benefited from the Level A set, we moved on to the Level B books — and they did not disappoint! These stories are a perfect next step: they introduce slightly more complex vocabulary and sentence structure while still being fun and easy to follow. My child feels so proud reading these on her own, and I’ve noticed her confidence and fluency improve with each book. The illustrations are colorful and engaging, and the books continue to be the perfect size to bring along when we’re out and about. If your little one is ready to build on their early reading skills, this set is a fantastic choice. It’s keeping the learning going while still feeling like play!

Got this for my kid who is learning to read. I decided to purchas Level A, B and C set together due to the discount offered while purchasing. My kid loved these & he is so encouraged that he picks his book and keep trying himself. Easy to read, less pages in each and comes as combination of 25 books on different theme. Overall does the job and would recommend these. I do feel for what you get, these could have been more reasonable priced.

These are perfect for my kindergarten who needed to practice a little reading over the summer break. They are short enough to where he doesn’t get frustrated and keep his attention.

These books are excellent for teaching children how to read my son is in preschool and is reading so well that now I put these books in children’s birthday bags

I purchased these. Ok for my new reader. He is in Kindergarten and he’s doing great with them. They aren’t too easy and they keep him thinking about the story. Buy them! You can’t Go Wrong. And the Box they come in is nice and sturdy, perfect for on the go or on the bookshelf.

Useful for beginners in reading

I bought the A through F series of these books for my son to help him ahead with his reading skills. The books are short little stories worded simply and are something that holds a child's attention without them get bored or frustrated. I would definitely recommend these books for family's with children in kindergarten through grade one.

Great learning resource

Estos cuentitos son padrísimos para aprender a leer... Su texto repetitivo y predecible ayudan mucho a los niños , además de que las historias sin super divertidas... A mí me llegó uno mal impreso... Es lo único... Pero los recomiendo cien por ciento!!
