Activity pages can be completed easily using crayons, pencils, scissors, and glue. Each activity is designed to give students practice with a specific reading-readiness skill while simultaneously enhancing fine motor skill development through coloring, tracing, cutting, and pasting.

Award certificates are included to recognize achievement. Praise and recognition of skill mastery encourage students to be self-motivated and gain confidence necessary to attempt new skills.

Activities in this book have been placed in a sequence that scaffolds the learning process but may be used in whatever manner best matches your curricular scope and sequence.

A Hands-on Approach to Sight Words Practice

Students will enjoy practicing phonics skills with the whimsical Reading Pals characters included in this book. This teaching resource provides opportunities for repeated reading practice that leads to fluent and confident readers. Each book includes:

  • 12 full-color Reading Pals with punch-out text frames designed to isolate letters, sounds, and words
  • Multilevel activity pages
  • Reproducibles of Reading Pals and suggested activities


This book targets recognition of basic high frequency words that children need to recognize "on sight" at automatic levels. The multilevel text pages support phonics knowledge, sight word practice and reading fluency at the K and 1st grade levels.

The text moves gradually from single word phrases to phrases and sentences to increase children's ability to phrase or "chunk" text into meaningful units.

This book includes both one-window and two-window text frames in the shape of delightful animal characters, which are used to reinforce concepts about print and to stress left-to-right and top-to-bottom reading practice.

Each Reading Pal contains pop-out features, which form windows that allow children to confine their text view to one or two words or sentence chunks at a time. This Reading Pal approach is supported by research indicating that the human brain embraces knowledge presented in novel ways. The 12 clever Reading Pals included in this book will stimulate young readers' desire to practice their newly learned skills in a fun way!

I am a stay at home mom who values education very much, and these resources have been able to help me start my child's education early in order to give her a head start before she even enters into school. - Heather L.

The resources I received will help me tremendously with reading skills. I was amazed at how quickly I received my order. - Annette H.

My son needed some additional work with his fine motor skills to prepare him for Kindergarten next year. We work out of the books I ordered. He does his "homework" when my older son is completing his after school. He loves it! It makes him feel like a big boy. I was amazed that my order arrived two days after I placed it, especially because it was the Holiday season. - Dawn M.

I purchased the full color Kindergarten file folder games, and my students love them. We use them daily during our literacy groups. Your service was great! - Cindy M.

They provide a variety of ways to reach different students and allow me to vary my activities year-to-year. - Staci M.
