The content is quite impressive however since I purchased it as a starter pack I assumed I was getting everything I needed. It did not come with lesson plans (separate purchase)and since I needed guidance I went ahead and got that separately. Upon getting those, I realized it did not come with multiple other books that are included in the lesson plans. I understand I may not have had to but I didn’t want to not be prepared. The books I’m referencing are all of the phonics materials and life of Fred books. That was a bit disappointing as I thought I was going to get every single thing I needed to start our year with no extra hunting down of materials. We are very excited about the curriculum in general but if these things could be made much more clear on the site I think it would better help other families to feel a lot more prepared.
I've been able to start looking through and am absolutely in love with the art and characters. Very well done!
These have been so wonderful and have given such laughs to my 6 year old as she is learning to read! The format and instructions on how to use these books have been very helpful in making sure she is mastering the skills well. We are so thankful for books that help her along and build upon themselves!
This was such a pleasant surprise, it’s the perfect book set to go along with our current reading curriculum. My son loves the books and it’s so hard to find an engaging story for beginner readers! The illustration is adorable and attention grabbing and the sticker chart is such a key component to motivating my young reader!
Awesome!
Loving it!
Thank you!
Your company is great!
The quality of the physical books and illustrations is top notch. I love the beginning sequence of short vowels. The scope and sequence isn't quite aligned with suggested phonics instruction order. However, these stories are a great option for students who are ready to apply a wider arrange of phonics skills.
My 4-year-old is already memorizing the letter sounds and loves to ask to practice them. We are excited to start reading the cute books! My only constructive feedback would be about the choices of some of the images- she was initially thrown off by fox for the letter X, and said "buh" for "R" because she thought the rabbit was "bunny." Otherwise, perfection!
Amazing product. Did a reel to show how well they are teaching my 2 year old her sounds. I’m very impressed!
These readers are such a great addition to my classroom library. I like how they focus on different skills. Love them.
My full review and my son's unboxing will be on instagram sometime next week, but I am so pleasantly surprised by the contents of the box. So many books and a comprehensive way to learn while being entertained. Very much looking forward to utilizing this tool!
I’m really impressed with these baby books. They’re engaging, colorful, and perfect for keeping my baby’s attention. A wonderful addition to our collection
We’ve really enjoyed reading Chickadee Readers: My First Stories with our children. The stories are short, engaging, and written in a way that keeps their attention without being overwhelming. The illustrations are colorful and cheerful, which makes reading time fun for both kids and parents. I also appreciate that the stories introduce simple vocabulary and themes that are easy for young readers to follow. It’s been a great way to start building a love of reading at home. Highly recommend for families looking for quality early reader books!
I have been using this with my son for a couple weeks now and it’s been a game changer. The poster and stickers to track their journey makes it super interactive and fun for kids which is huge in keeping them interested! This is a great set and would highly recommend to any one struggling or needing some extra help with teaching your kids how to read and keeping them engaged!
These books are amazing! They are both educational and really enjoyable, keeping you curious with every page. The quality is excellent and the content is clearly well-prepared. I really loved them.
Illustrations, fun stories! We really love these.
My daughter just started and is really engaged with this because of the quality of the pictures. She has tried other similar programs but they are older and pictures did not interest her which made her not want to try to read the book. So far she is excited and I am too.
We are a home school family with 4 children, and I have been teaching my children for over 12 years now. We recently switched to a classical style of teaching and have incorporated Kraken Latin 1 into the mix. I have grades 12, 10, and 7 learning Kraken Latin 1 together with surprising success (since we have no previous Latin experience). The DVD that accompanies the books is very helpful, a MUST-have. Two thumbs up!
We’ve tried other early readers, but Chickadee Readers makes it step-by-step and stress-free. The confidence it’s given my child is priceless. My child’s vocabulary has grown, and I can see her joy in reading growing too.
I got these in mail and was SOO excited to start these with my daughters right away. the quality and info in these books are amazing and will for sure help me teach them!
