A Good Next Step After the Basics
I found the “First Little Readers Parent Pack” to be a decent collection for my child, but I wouldn’t suggest it for a reader who is truly just starting out. I also think calling them “Irresistible” is a bit of an overstatement; they’re very simple books, which is fine, but they weren’t something my child was constantly begging to read.Before diving into these, I think it’s really helpful to have a solid foundation in sight words and basic phonics. We had a lot of success with the Bob Books series, which I feel prepared my child for this next step.Once my child was comfortable with the fundamentals, this set was a great way to introduce more common words in the context of a story. Each book is its own little story, which is nice because it keeps things interesting. They introduce a few new words in each book, which felt like a manageable challenge.Overall, I think these books are a useful tool in the learn-to-read process, but I’d recommend them for a child who has already grasped the initial concepts of reading.Pros:Each book tells a unique story.The stories introduce a few new words at a time.Good for practicing common words in sentences.Cons:Not ideal for a child’s very first reading experience.Assumes some prior knowledge of basic words.The “irresistible” claim on the packaging is a stretch.

Great Beginning Readers
I was very impressed with these books! We have a down syndrome grandchild that is beginning to read & he sounds words…these books are great! He was so pleased he could read it all by himself. They are short enough that he did not get overwhelmed with how many pages there were. The approach is great and love the sounding out words!

Excellent books for beginning readers!
I ordered all 3 sets of these books for my Kindergartner. He already recognizes a bunch of sight words and I wanted to get a great collection of books that would give him lots of practice and lots of success! I taught reading enrichment classes to early readers for ~9 years, so I knew what I was looking for; these are perfect for getting a youngster started!Another reviewer complained that the sets did not differ in difficulty from A to B to C, but I have to disagree. In my picture, a book from set A is at the top, set B in the middle, and set C at the bottom. All three are alike in their simple sentence structure, but there are key differences. Set A books use a very short sentence, usually with only one word changing per page. This lets the child read independently, recognizing the pattern and using visual clues to figure out unknown words, thereby experiencing a lot of success and feeling pride in their reading skills. Set B uses slightly longer sentences or even two sentences per page, and the words that change frequently have more syllables. The pictures still help with figuring it out, though, so your child can move through the text comfortably, learning to not be intimidated by long words (very important!). Set C books seem to focus on words that have challenging phonics elements (like “grew” — not an easy word to sound out until you’ve learned that digraph, which usually happens sometime in mid 1st grade) or longer and more diverse sentences with multi-syllabic words. Don’t get me wrong; these books are little half steps in the reading process and are all early-mid Kindergarten level, but in setting up your child for success — giving them confidence and the willingness to try — these early experiences are crucial! I am very pleased with the purchase and am excited for my kid to try them.UPDATE 10/1/21 — I will modify my above statement for at least one of the books. In the A set, there is a book called “Almost Spring” that I feel belongs in set B or possibly even set C. It uses the present participle (-ing) on almost every page, and while a child at this level may know or be able to figure out the root word (for instance, “melt” or “peep”), they are very likely to be thrown by “melting” and “peeping.” Just remember to give your child lots of support and encouragement when they read, and if they seem to be struggling, just tell them the word and let them move on. :)P.S. Other people reported getting some duplicates in their boxes; I did not. Seems to be random. Perhaps if you get a duplicate the seller could send you the right one.Customer image

Great, first time reader books
Great first time reader books will buy more in the set. My nephew loves them. These children’s books are fantastic! The stories are fun, captivating, and age-appropriate, keeping my child engaged from start to finish. The illustrations are colorful and vibrant, bringing each story to life. I also love that the books include positive messages and learning opportunities, helping to develop reading skills and curiosity. The pages are durable, perfect for little hands, and the overall quality is excellent. Highly recommend for any young reader!

Great learning book for first readers.
Got this for my kid who is learning to read. I decided to purchas Level A, B and C set together due to the discount offered while purchasing. My kid loved these & he is so encouraged that he picks his book and keep trying himself. Easy to read, less pages in each and comes as combination of 25 books on different theme. Overall does the job and would recommend these. I do feel for what you get, these could have been more reasonable priced.

Short books for first time readers.
Easy learning, tiny short books for kindergartners. I bought these to help my pre-K to learn how to read. I like it comes with so many books and they’re really short and easy for him to read.

Love that each book has enough details and realistic illustrations alongside repetitive sentences that kept my toddler engaged and wanting to say the words before I could even finish reading it. Great beginner book set to spark interest in reading!

I purchased these for my 5 year old daughter who is in kindergarten to start teaching her how to read. They are the perfect first reader books! I was quite pleasantly surprised that they come in a nice case to store all the books. There are 25 books total The stories and illustrations are super simple, fun, & colourful. It also comes with a parent guide with easy reading tips to help your child which I found very helpful. My daughter is really excited to read all of the books. I think these will be a great help in her learning to read.
