Raising Little Readers® Bundle

Develop the ability to hear and manipulate individual sounds in words—think rhyming, syllables, combining and separating sounds. This is the foundation of all reading success.

Learn the names, sounds, and symbols for the letters that make up the English alphabet. Your child will be able to identify both uppercase and lowercase letters and relate their sounds and names.

Use their letter sound mastery to blend sounds together and take them apart, unlocking the ability to decode (read) and encode (spell) any new word they encounter.

Learn the sounds and spellings of common blends (sl, tr, ck) and digraphs (ch, sh, th) to increase the complexity of words they can read and spell.

Build a bank of high-frequency words through orthographic mapping that they can read, dramatically increasing reading fluency and confidence.

Progress from carefully sounding out each word to reading smoothly with expression, making reading enjoyable instead of laborious.

Deepen understanding of complex spelling patterns, including r-controlled vowels, vowel teams, long-vowel spellings, diphthongs, open and closed syllables, and more, so your child can decode and spell with increased accuracy and independence.

Learn how to break longer words into manageable parts using clear syllable division routines. This builds confidence, reduces guessing, and empowers children to read bigger, more challenging words.

Explore prefixes, suffixes, and base words in simple, child-friendly ways. These small but powerful parts of words with their own meanings help children unlock longer words and understand new vocabulary with ease.

With the use of prefixes, suffixes, base words, and multisyllabic words your child will grow their vocabulary by developing skills that allow them to decode and write these more complex words and understand them in their reading and utilize them to enhance their writing.

Expertly created dictation lists and routines provide your child with ample practice at not just reading these new phonics patterns, but spelling them as well. With thousands of words and hundreds of decodable sentences, your child will be spelling with ease.

Move beyond basic decoding toward reading with phrasing, pacing, and expression. Children build stamina, fluency, and confidence as words and sentences get longer and multi-sentence/paragraph reading begins.
