I like the leveled books and the order in which different reading skills are focused on. I don’t love that some of the sentences are fragments (I would have preferred a few more sight words to avoid that since writing in fragments is a pretty big problem among young writers). I love the alphabet song, but the specific letter songs are not very memorable to the specific letters, especially since many share the same tune. My kid came in knowing her letter sounds, so this wasn’t a big deal for us. The little stories that go with each letter are better for helping them connect the sound with the letter, but some of these stories are really lacking, like they feel like they stop right in the middle. I have other nitpicking issues, but overall I think it gets the job done. I wanted leveled books that followed a logical order for my kiddo to begin reading, and these are working. Three weeks ago, my kid couldn’t read at all, and now she is on book 10. It was definitely worth the money for me.
