Here's a list of all the available book sets and titles: Bear Lovers Support Set 1 This set runs from the super-simple early Berenstain books to the longer Little Bear books. There's more variety of text difficulty than in some of the other sets, so early readers who love bears can enjoy these with various levels of independence. Big Bear Small Bear (Stan & Jan Berenstain) Books not included. They're easy to find at your favorite library or bookstore. Common Core Set 1 This set of titles comes from the recommended books for independent reading for K-1, cited in Common Core State Standards documents, and most of the recommended online poems for this grade level. Books cover a wide range of difficulty levels. Pancakes for breakfast (Tomie DePaola) Books not included. They’re easy to find at your favorite library or bookstore. Dog Lovers Support Set 1 Supports learning of all words in the books below. These recommended books have very short pages with adorable puppy illustrations for very early readers. If your child loves dogs, she may love these. In our experience, some boys dislike these books for being too cute and sweet, but other boys love them. Great for building confidence because each whole story is very short. Biscuit (Alyssa Satin Capucilli) Books not included. They're easy to find at your favorite library or bookstore. Dog Lovers Support Set 2 Dog-loving readers who are ready for longer stories will enjoy these Clifford and Harry books. Great early practice for building reading stamina in beginning grade levels. Clifford The Big Red Dog (Norman Bridwell) Books not included. They're easy to find at your favorite library or bookstore.
Dinos, Bugs, and Snakes Set 1 Supports learning of all words in the books below. These recommended books are great for kids who are curious about bugs, snakes, and dinosaurs! And some kids are just not interested in Seuss-like stories, so if that's true for yours, try these instead. The non-fiction titles have terrific photo illustrations. The words can be more challenging than in some of the other early sets, but motivation is a powerful thing for an early reader. Meet the Dinosaurs (DK Readers) Books not included. They're easy to find at your favorite library or bookstore. Fly Guy Set 1 Frog Lovers, Set 1 Funny Books Support Set 1 Supports learning of over 1000 words, including all words in the books below, plus hundreds of first grade bonus words.

They're easy to find at your favorite library or bookstore. Funny Books Support Set 2 Supports learning of all words in the books below. Very funny classics, these recommended books have longer pages than in Support Set 1 and some have more challenging words. Great for kids who have some early reading experience and are willing to try books with lots of words. (If they need more confidence first, see Funny Books Support Set 3). The Cat In The Hat (Dr. Seuss) Books not included. They're easy to find at your favorite library or bookstore. Funny Books Support Set 3 Supports learning of all words in the books below. These recommended books are hilarious, and if your beginning reader balks at seeing too many words on a page, they're perfect. They have some advanced words sprinkled in them, but each page is super short. Today I Will Fly (Mo Willems) Books not included. They're easy to find at your favorite library or bookstore. Funny Books Support Set 4 When early readers are ready to build some stamina, try these longer books. They're also terrific for reading with a child who's bored by too-simple stories or tired of rhyme. Lots of excitement as these characters make lots of trouble. Curious George Flies a Kite (Margret Rey) Books not included. They're easy to find at your favorite library or bookstore. I Spy Support Set 1 If you've got a young game-lover, try these easy-reader versions of the popular I Spy books. Big fun with very short, simple text. I Spy A Candy Cane (Jean Marzollo) Books not included. They're easy to find at your favorite library or bookstore. Harry Potter Set 1 For older readers still struggling with phonics, this set contains all the words from the first chapter of the first Harry Potter book.
