Book details
Chickadee Readers teach your kids to love reading.
The Chickadee Bundle features all four of the My First Stories boxed sets. It also includes a deck of Pre-K Phonics flashcards (covering short vowels, long vowels, and every consonant), plus a Map to Reading poster to track your child’s progress (complete with 40 unique stickers).
The bundle is designed for rising kindergarteners who are ready to learn to read, or for 1st-graders who would like more reading practice. The books progress slowly and steadily through basic phonics: over the course of the four sets, the books move from Lexile Measure 80L to 560L. Your child will learn short vowels, long vowels, and consonant blends, and then practice putting all of it together to make long stories. Along the way there’s plenty of review, so everything your child learns stays learned.
With colorful illustrations, rollicking stories, and whimsical characters, the Chickadee Bundle will nurture a lifelong love for books.

How Chickadee Works
Classic Illustrations
Remember when kids books were well-drawn? Our kids deserve better than throw-away, black and white stick figures and lazy artwork. Each reader is beautifully illustrated by Mark Beauchamp.
Story Grip
Just because a story is for kids doesn't mean they have to be dumb. Chickadee set out to engage young kids with real stories with beginnings, middles, and ends.
Stair-step phonics
Every story and every book builds on the last. With lessons carefully crafted by highly experienced teachers, Chickadee sets a manageable pace of learning.
Chickadee teaches your kids how to sound out words by focusing on key phonics sounds and moving from simple to more complex sentences — without boring the new reader!
Real learning. Real fun.
We've packaged 60+ years of teaching experience into 4 sets of readers that engage kids and parents alike.
Chickadee makes step-by-step phonetic teaching easy and produces long-term reading confidence.
Kids love Chickadee. So do parents!
Created by two long-time teachers who wanted a better way to teach reading
Jan and Anita have spent their lives teaching kids to read. They realized the "best" options available are either out of print, poorly illustrated, or just plain confusing for kids.
Their innovative Chickadee Readers reflect the teaching methods they've perfected over the last four decades!
The Chickadee Guarantee
We promise Chickadee will teach your child to love reading with our books.
If you and your kids don't love Chickadee Readers, all you have to do is send your set back for a full refund.
We’ll even pay for return shipping!
