I can't understand why anyone would rate this series less than 5 stars. Maybe they don't realize that these are decidable books where only certain sounds and words can be used. As the books go on more words are learned by students, so the books get more interesting plots. An excellent way to teach children how to read.

This was a great first read for my preschooler and his younger twin brothers. He like reading it to me and his brothers are trying also.

I'm a teacher of 35 years. In my 20 years of teaching kindergarten, I used these books as a supplement with my challenged students and became a fan. All my students learned to read successfully! And, now, to see color and to hear music--what motivation to develop a love of reading! I will be using this reading program to help my granddaughter learn to read!

These books were great when they were just books. Now on mobile devices they are amazing. I taught all three of my kids to read when they were between 4 and 5 years old using Reading Teacher. I am not a teacher, but my family member that recommended them is. The research and the concept behind them is ingenious. After your child has learned the letter sounds, they WILL LEARN TO READ using this program only! You don't need anything else. The app makes the series even more fun for the kids, but the sense of accomplishment and confidence that comes with reading a whole book is motivation enough to keep going!
