My son was struggling with reading until we found these books. He loves the adventures he gets to read about, and no longer dreads reading time.

My son loves these CD-roms.  He is almost 5 and plays them a lot.  He is learning quite a bit.  Plus, there are 3 different levels, so as he gets better, he gets more challenged.  I'm impressed with this.

My son is learning to read with this.  He is recognizing words that he hasn't known before.  I feel very good about letting him play this.

These worked great for my daughter who was 7 and struggling to read. She is 8 now and reading much better after memorizing these cards. I wish the corners were stronger/reinforced so the cards wouldn't get ripped off the ring sometimes. I am glad I purchased these.

My son loves these books. He still reads through them and he's in first grade. His teacher suggested that he keep reading a little below his reading level at home, to help build confidence at school. This has worked wonders because he has doubled his reading level in just two months.

Have gotten this type before and love them. They are small but perfect for little hand learning to read. My son has just expressed to desire to learn to read and we have been working with these books. It helps him recognize words and associate words with the characters he loves.

I had to convince my wife that these books were literary gold. She shot me major side eye and tried to stick with boring books for our 6 and 7 year olds. However, we were in desperate need of new reading materials for our reluctant readers. As soon as we planted the kids down with these books, something incredible happened. Our previously whiny duo became absorbed in the stories. Cue silence from the wife. Win for dad.

My son loves these even though he 'hates to read.' Easier reading level than class series. Probably for 1st and 2nd graders.

He started reading them in Grade 5 and is in Grade 6.  They really motivate him to read.  (I don't care if there are pictures...it's reading!  There's a plot!)

I saw these books and figured they were too easy, but I was running into a problem.  I could not get my little girl to read books.  She was reading all of her lessons with little if any trouble, but when I would try to get her to read the same words in a book she wanted nothing to do with it. I set these books in front of her and she read all 12.  They didn't help her to learn to read, but they were a great help in getting her to read and to enjoy reading.

Update:  I am now teaching my second child to read.  I LOVE THESE BOOKS!!!! They are really helping her figure out how to read.

My son has had a difficult time catching up in reading.  I finally found something he cannot put down.  Books arrive quickly and in great condition.

My son wasn't excited about reading until we found this series of books! I keep telling him to slow down (because this set is for Christmas).  I'm afraid he'll finish the previous series too soon!

My son picked up his colors, shapes, numbers (1-20), sound of letters and even can read small three letter words at one. Its not easy finding him educational toys that keep his interest at two but these books reinforce all the things he knows, so I like them even if he only reads them once a week.

My son who has difficulty with Comprehension is finding that this book is helpful in breaking down the skills he is trying to grasp when it comes to reading and understanding. They are bite size so depending on what he can do we use this book to supplement his school work. I'm so glad I got this additional workbook.

These books are amazing! My 8 year old son is dyslexic and he actually enjoys reading these books! The stories are interesting, the special font and spacing make a difference and since the books are on the longer side- he feels super accomplished when he finishes one. I have purchased the whole series and think I am going to purchase a second set to donate to his school.

My 9 year loves these books. It has been hard to get him excited to read until he found these books! He reads them with no argument.

We received both Talking Words and also the Letters DVD a few weeks ago.  Our son is five and is on the autistic spectrum.  He knew his letters before the movies arrived.  He now knows all the letter sounds and how to read most of the words on the movie!  I can't even begin to express how amazed I am at how fast he has learned from these.  Tonight he was saying letters to the words so I would right them down.  The last one he dictated to me was "S" "T" "O" "P".  Any child needing to grasp phonics should have these movies available to them.

My son hates to read but when I found these books he can't wait each day to read with me.
