Budding Reader Book Set 2: Wit and Kit 

"This book series is invaluable for struggling readers. It provides needed repetition of beginning words, colorful illustrations, and the opportunity to practice writing skills."-Kathy Slater, Special Education Teacher Build confidence in beginning readers-especially reluctant ones-with award-winning Budding Reader e Books.Arguably the easiest learn-to-read book series on the market, this phonics series uses an innovative, research-based format to ease children into reading. Previewing a book dramatically improves reading comprehension, so Book 1 is a wordless picture book. Repetition aids brain development, so Books 2-10 retell the story with a gradually expanding vocabulary.The second Budding Reader book set Wit and Kit, introduces the short "i" vowel sound and 13 new words (bit, by, did, good, he, hit, I, it, Kit, no, quit, she, Wit). Four simple words previously introduced in the series (and, see, that, you) are reviewed. In total, the series introduces more than 60 simple words including dozens of common sight words. Bonus Freebies: Learning is reinforced with companion writing worksheets while the Budding Reader parent guide provides tips and tricks for making reading easier and more fun for new readers.Budding Reader e Books were developed in consultation with Cecilia Minden, Ph.D., the former Director of Language and Literacy at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
