Customer Reviews

Wonderful reading program

I purchased the first two readers and after reading through them decided to buy the rest of the series. This is a wonderful reading program and my two children, ages 6 & 8, love reading these short little stories. Both of my children are good readers so we use the readers to increase their fluency and for me to "test" them by having them read out loud to me. They enjoy reading to Mamma and I enjoy hearing them progress in their reading ability. I also love the life lessons that the children are reading about and appreciate the fact that they are reading some profitable, substantial material instead of much of the "fluff" reading that is available at the library.
