Give your child the Right Start when learning to read with Right Start Readers.  Stage 1 is for first-time readers ages 4-6 years old.  They will be introduced to all letter and digraph sounds.  Easily decodable three and four letter words make-up short stories featuring adorable animal characters. Right Start Readers are special because they are teacher created stories that follow a logical and scientifically based progression of phonemic skills.  Children will not simply memorize what is on the page, or use the pictures to guess the words.  The slow progression of skills required to read these stories will allow your reader to experience excitement and success reading the first books!
 
Books 13 & 14 are the final stories in Stage 1: First-Time Readers.  These books will introduce the concept of adding suffix "s" and suffix "es" to the end of CVC words.  Your reader will practice all the concepts learned in the Stage 1 stories, and learn how to correctly read words that are made plural. Rat and Pig are the stars of these stories and take us on two fun adventures.
