catandratThis is a wonderful way to teach simple reading to a young child. The concept starts with pictures only and then adds words in sequence through the same story. It starts with only a couple of words and becomes more complex. By the end of the book, the child is reading full sentences, including questions. While the end result is similar to the old “See Spot Run” type of book, the practice of adding words to the same story is really interesting and different. It allows the child the ability to finish the story using the actual words being studied.

Set 1 deals with the concepts and look and see as well as a number of words at that a short a sound. The story is about a cat and a rat and how they learn to share. The illustrations are colorful and fun to look at. I plan to pick up the entire set for my grandchildren.

I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher, Budding Reader, via Netgalley in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
