The Learn to Read Toolbox includes 8 VERY easy readers for the student who is at the very beginning stages of reading.Developed by a reading specialist, a special education teacher and an elementary teacher, the Learn To Read Toolbox sets were created based on the concept of word families. Word families are groups of words that all have the same ending sound (rhyming words). For example hat, cat, mat, bat, that, fat, and pat are all part of the same word family. Each book focuses on just one word family. When children are able to sound out one word from the word family, reading the other words is easy. This approach to learning to read allows children to build confidence and reinforce their decoding skills as they master each word family. With each book, children are also introduced to a few of the most common high frequency words, such as the, a, have, is, and it. Each book is short and simple (only 8 pages of reading) allowing your beginning reader to read an entire story, giving them a real sense of accomplishment.
