My daughter used to beg for five more minutes of screen time before bed. Now she begs for one more story. Last week she read me a full page by herself and I nearly cried. I didn't expect a book to do that.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this book actually teach my child to read?
+
Each of the 25 stories focuses on just two sight words at a time, repeating them naturally throughout the story so your child starts recognizing them by sight instead of sounding out every letter. A short activity after each story locks the words in through practice.
Who is this book for?
+
Preschoolers and early kindergartners just starting to read, and any child who needs extra practice with the sight words that make up most of what they'll read in school.
Is it good for a total beginner?
+
Yes. The stories start simple and build gradually, so it works whether your child knows zero sight words yet or is already reading a little and needs more practice.
How is this different from flashcards or worksheets?
+
Flashcards ask kids to memorize words in isolation. This book puts the words inside real stories your child actually wants to finish, so the words stick because they matter to the story, not because they were drilled.
Will this help my child before kindergarten?
+
It's built around the sight words most kindergarten and early elementary reading programs expect kids to know, so working through it before the school year gives your child a real head start.
How long does it take to get through the book?
+
Every family moves at their own pace. Most parents read one story a night, so all 25 stories fit naturally into a few weeks of bedtime or after-school time.

Author's Note
Kimberly Ann Kiedrowski spent almost 10 years teaching kindergarten before she wrote a single story. She holds a degree in Early Childhood Education from the University of Wisconsin, Green Bay, and built this book around one idea: kids learn to read faster when the words are hiding inside a story they actually want to finish, not a worksheet they're told to complete.

He sounded out his first full sentence on his own last Tuesday and looked up at me like he'd won something. I've bought so many phonics books that ended up on a shelf. This one he actually asks for.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Finally, something that stuck. We tried three other sight word books and none of them held his attention past page two. This one he finished in a week and asked to start again.

I'm a kindergarten teacher and I bought this for my own son, not my classroom. Even I was impressed with how naturally the words repeat. He's ahead of where I'd expect for this time of year."

We tried flashcards for months and it always ended in tears. This turned the same words into a story he wanted to finish, and somewhere along the way he just started reading them without me pointing them out.

Bought this for my grandson for his 5th birthday since his mom mentioned he was struggling a bit with reading. He calls me now to read me a story over the phone. Best gift I've picked in years.

Honestly wasn't sure a book could compete with her tablet. It did. She picks this over screen time most nights now, which says a lot.

4 stars, only because I wish it came with a second copy. My younger one keeps stealing his older brother's book before he's done with it.
Sarah W.,

We homeschool and this became part of our actual reading curriculum, not just a side activity. The activities after each story are quick enough that she doesn't get bored, which is rare for us.

He used to get frustrated and shut down whenever we tried reading practice. This is the first thing that didn't end in a meltdown. Slow, steady progress, but real progress.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Every night is now 'one more story' instead of 'five more minutes of iPad.' I'll take that trade every single time.
