First Grade Reader Collection

Avoid the frustration of ‘too hard’ or the boredom of ‘too easy’ with the First Grade Reader Collection, the proven way for your child to master First Grade. Reading isn’t one-size-fits-all—especially in first grade, where every child’s journey is unique. By utilizing our teacher-designed framework , you can now meet your child exactly where they are—bridging the gap between classroom phonics and true independent reading. Our short story collections are the perfect solution to keep them engaged and help them exceed their end-of-year goals. Inside Level 1: Early Reader Confidence Master Full Sentences: Designed for children who know their sounds but are ready to read complete sentences with ease. Frustration-Free Reading: Uses predictable patterns and "sight words" to eliminate mid-sentence stumbling. 20 Engaging Stories: 10 fiction tales to develop social skills & 10 non-fiction adventures to explore the world and foster curiosity. Deep Comprehension: Includes vocabulary keys and teacher-designed questions to ensure they truly understand the plot. Is Level 1 the best fit for your child right now, or should you consider a different starting point from the collection? Reading success is built on confidence. If the "starting point" is too high, a child learns to dislike reading. If it’s just right, they become unstoppable. Consider adding one of our other titles to your basket to complement Level 1: Add Foundation if your child: Is still mastering phonics Struggles to blend 3-letter words (cat, hop, sun) Finds a simple sentence challenging Add Level 2 or 3 if your child: Reads short stories smoothly Is comfortable with longer sentences Is ready for multi-syllable words and chapter-style plots Still Unsure Where to Start? As educators, our advice is simple: When in doubt, start with the lowest level. Even if your child read Level 2 with support, starting lower builds reading stamina and speed . There is nothing more powerful for a young reader than "flying" through a book with ease. It builds the positive momentum they need to tackle the harder levels later.

RJ Learns

RJ Learn’s “Let’s go potty” was written to help provide speech delayed children to have a template to be able to communicate effectively when going to the toilet. Potty training speech-delayed children can be particularly challenging due to several factors. Communication barriers often make it difficult for these children to express their needs, such as when they need to use the toilet, leading to frustration and misunderstandings. Additionally, they may struggle to understand verbal instructions, complicating the process of following the necessary steps for potty training. Sensory sensitivities, which are common among some speech-delayed children, can also make the experience of using the toilet overwhelming. Key Features: Uses stories to provide visual learning cues, making the process easier to understand than verbal instructions alone. Presents potty training in a relatable and less intimidating context. Reinforces steps and expectations through repetition and consistency. Reduces anxiety and increases comfort with the new routine. Incorporates gestalts, or chunks of language, to enhance communication. Provides ready-made phrases for children to express their needs and understand instructions. This book is a labor of love, written for my son RJ, who has a speech delay. RJ is hyperlexic—he could read and recite the alphabet by the age of 2. However, it took another year and a half before he could communicate using functional language, as we didn’t initially realize he was a gestalt language processor. Once we, along with his speech therapists, recognized this, his progress accelerated. These books are designed specifically for him, integrating key phrases we want him to learn in various contexts. Through these stories, we strive to support his language development and assist other children with similar needs, incorporating everything we’ve learned and found effective for him. Read more

Compelling storylines paired with a strict Scope and Sequence make for a series that children won't just be ABLE to read, but that they will actually WANT to read. Five short-vowel-specific decodable books with a true beginning, middle, and end that a beginning reader can ACTUALLY read Pat Had a Hat: Short A Ten Hens: Short E Swim, Tim: Short I Hop, Frog: Short O Run, Pug: Short U Simple sentences: The bugs run in the sun.

For this reason, our short vowel decodable readers contain a select few consonant blends and digraphs that adhere to the select vowel sound. This is the only set where such an exception is made to future spelling patterns.
