Starter Stories For The Very Young Reader

About the Book

STARTER STORIES FOR THE VERY YOUNG READER is for children who are ready to read. Children should not be pushed into reading at too early an age.

Due to publishing constraints, those flashcards and pockets are only available through: https://sites.google.com/site/starterstories76/. STARTER STORIES FOR THE VERY YOUNG READER is intended to be an enjoyable and challenging introduction to reading for the young child.
