The Curious About Phonics Learn-to-Read program can help your child master the basic phonics skills that are the building blocks for a lifetime of reading and learning. These twelve books introduce a carefully selected progression of letter sounds; there are repeated examples of the sounds being focused on, and high-frequency words (the, and) are called out, as are challenge words (rabbit, pancake). Challenge words are always referenced in the art. Also included with the set is a handy parent guide.

I bought this for my 1st grader to encourage her to read. This is not a good set for learning how to read. The difficulty doesn't build up or doesn't even match to what it said it teaches. It's too advanced for very beginners, but too simple once the kid learns to read words used in these books. It's ok when a child can read some pages, then parent can read others. However, that takes away the joy of accomplishment, joy of reading the whole book on their own!Here is an example: Book 2 says it teaches short e as in rest and b as in bike. Short e and just the sound b are really really beginner reader skills, but this book has hardly any simple words using those sounds. Instead here is a sentence on 4th page: "Presents are the best kind of surprise." LOL if my kid needs to practice letter b sound still, how in a world is she going to read the word surprise!!!!????My kids love curious George, and they like these books. However, I bought them for educational purposes, and I wanted my dd to read them on her own. This turned out to be a set of very low quality that I red to her. I would much rather read regular Curious George books to her if I am the reader :(Kids would give this set 3 stars since they liked me to read those books to them. However I give it 1 star because it does not serve the purpose it was made to serve: help kids learn to read when they are still beginners.
My preschooler loves the character and the stories. Our daily readings are something he looks forward to and he is retaining the skills, and starting to generalize learned words to other books. I can't give a better endorsement than, he is learning to read with this series.
I bought this set with high hopes of it helping engage my 6yo boy and help him understand the phonics side of reading and boost his confidence. It is working PERFECTLY! The phonics skills are dominant yet they have sight words (introduced in the front book cover to review right before reading the book) that don't follow the phonics rules. They use compound words nicely, also. I think this is wonderful because it also helps build confidence, the word may look too big to read but then they realize it is two small words they can sound out and Kaboom! They can read BIG words! Each book has a short introduction to review the contents of the book: Book 1 - Curious George Is Happy - New sounds in this book: short A as in LAP, H as in HOLD. Here are some useful words you will see in this book. See how well you can learn them! IS ON SO Here are some fun new words you will see in this book RABBIT PANCAKES. Book 4 - The Doctor's Office- New sounds in this book: short O as in NOT, D as in DOCTOR. Here are some useful words you will see in this book. See how well you can learn them! WHY NO AT Here are some fun new words you will see in this book. HOSPITAL PROBLEM DOCTOR LOLLIPOPThese books are colorful, and have mostly simple (confidence building) and fun words to read keep my boy interested. On day 3 of reading them, he lit up and said, "I'm getting better!"What is very cool is that these beginner books are very similar to the more advanced books so you can get the more advanced books as they progress and they will retain and recognize the similarities! I find these wonderful and love that my son now feels confident reading to his little sister, who in a couple of years can use the same books to learn to read! Worth buying!
My son LOVES Curious George so these readers were a great choice for us. There are 12 books that all focus on a diferent sound. They are great to practic phonics at home or to use when developing your own program. My son LOVES the simple stores and classic illustrations. What a great value for 12 readers!!
I love reading with my son and have been doing so since he was a baby. When I saw these books I had to buy them as they have Curious George in them and they are a learning tool. My son enjoys reading these books with us, he loves to hear the story and is starting to learn some of the words.The books are simple books with mostly simple sentences. On the inside cover of each book there is a helpful guide that will tell you words you will see in the book to learn and other word that are in the book so you can look for them. I have included a picture of one cover so you can see what it looks like, also a picture to how you the cover of a book along with the cardboard case in which the books come. The 3rd picture I have included shows a couple of pages of one book to give you an idea of what they look like inside.I am looking forward to many more hours, days, weeks, months and years of reading with my son. My son is 3 and already learning some words... it's so exciting :) If my review helped you please click the button below, thank you and God bless!
