TEACH YOUR CHILD TO READ WHILE HAVING FUN Simple sentences and strong picture cues help guide young children to reading success with this award-winning learn-to-read series.

What could be more exciting than hearing your child read a book to you for the first time? The Now I'm Reading books for emerging readers are just right for children who want to read but aren't quite ready to sound out words using phonics.

Each of the 8 stories in PRE-READER: WORD PLAY uses a proven system of simple, patterned text and strong picture cues to build confidence in the earliest readers. Each booklet focuses on at least 2 specific high-frequency sight words, which are introduced in an appropriate and organized sequence. Thirty-two included flashcards help reinforce children's familiarity with these common sight words.

Inside the CD binder-like package, you'll find:
- 8 story booklets
- 32 flashcards
- 40 reward stickers
- "Words to Know" and "Stretch Your Mind" activity sections
- Parent/Teacher Guide
- Activity Book
