Phonics First Steps (Step Into Reading, Set 1)

Your child is ready to crack the code of letters and sounds! Research shows that early phonics instruction is a key to reading success. With Phonics First Steps, kids will practice decoding and build on skills they develop with each book in the 8-book set!

Developed by a phonics expert, Phonics First Steps are an innovative program designed to help kids learn to read, step by step. New and improved—our bright boxed sets include eight little easy-to-decode books (24 pages each), now illustrated in full-color, with an easier to read font for emergent readers—plus a handy parent guide. Children will gain confidence each time they say, "I read this book!" Set 1 covers short vowels, blends, and more!
