The Littles · ages 3 to 6

Tiny, silly books they read all by themselves.

Not big stories shrunk down. The Littles get their own shelf: short, funny, beautifully illustrated books built from ONLY the sounds your child knows, so they can read every single word. The first time a little kid finishes a whole book on their own, you will both remember it.

Nan sat on Dad!

Every word uses only sounds your child has been taught. No guessing, ever. And their own name shows up in the story ("Nan sat on Maya!"), with balloons when they finish a book.

Ages 3 to 4: sound play

No screens for the child, no pressure. You play quick sound games from your phone at story time, the listening skills that make reading possible.

2

First sounds, first book

The moment your child knows a handful of letter sounds, the first little book unlocks. They read it themselves, every word, start to finish.

3

They graduate

Book by book, sound by sound. When blending is solid, the big adventure worlds open up, dragons, detectives, deep space, at their exact level.

Gentle and safe, always. Silly animals, mud, naps, hugs, tiny mischief that turns out fine. Built on structured literacy and the science of reading, the same approach reading specialists use, in five to ten warm minutes a day.
