Your Child's First Reading Books — Free Starter Pack

Three real books your child can read by sounding out the words, plus a simple 15-minute plan that shows you exactly how to help — even if you have never taught reading before.

What is inside

  • Book 1: I Sat — the very first book in the Reading Roadmap
  • Book 2: The Tin — a new letter sound joins in
  • Book 3: The Pit — the first three books, in order, just like inside the Vault
  • A fridge-friendly tracker so your child can watch their stars add up
  • What to say when your child gets stuck on a word (word for word)

Free instant download. We will email you the pack and a few short tips for using it. No spam, and you can unsubscribe anytime.

These books are the first 3 of 121 in the Decodable Readers Vault for Parents, a step-by-step reading library for Kindergarten through 2nd grade. One membership covers all of your children.

Frequently asked questions

What if my child does not know letter sounds yet?
Download the pack anyway. Page 2 has a quick check that takes one minute. If your child is not ready for the books yet, it tells you exactly what to work on first.

Do I need a printer?
Printing works best, so your child can hold the book and point to the words. Color or black and white both work, and you only print one book at a time. Inside the full Vault, every book is also a digital reader you can open on a tablet or phone.

Is this for homeschooling, or for practice after school?
Both. Homeschool families use these books as their reading lessons. Other families read one book together after school or before bed, a few times a week.

How much time does it take?
About 15 minutes a book. Short, regular sessions work far better than long ones.
