I had the opportunity to review the Rime to Read series and found the books to be not only highly instructive, but fun and engaging as well. Another wonderful feature of this series of books is that it has a simplicity that is both compelling and non-distracting. The colors are soft, the phonics are clear and consistent, and the children are engaged and love the books. The Rime to Read series is the best thing that has happened to early reading materials in decades.

I have enjoyed using the Rime to Read program with my young students. The color coding aspect of the program makes phonetic rules and sounds instantly recognizable and meaningful. It also increases phonemic awareness and helps turn my students into capable readers. Thank you for producing such an excellent system for emerging readers. My students love to read "Rime to Read" and I love it that they love to read.

The Rime to Read Series is my favorite new discovery for beginning readers. It builds confidence quickly. The children love the fact that they are able to read 20 books. They keep track of the numbers and chart their progress. These little books are both child and teacher friendly. I have used them with great success!

I work with students who have learning differences and many are non-readers. The Rime to Read series has been a sprinkling of “fairy dust” for these students. Suddenly, the students are reading in class and asking to take the books home. The color-coding, repetition, and sight vocabulary, are all excellent aides to stimulate reading. Students enjoy the happy readings and feel empowered with their new ability to decode and finally read!

From the moment Andrew started with Rime to Read he was hooked. He loves to carry the books with him and read them to anybody who will listen. He enjoys each new character that is introduced into the series and is excited when the old characters reappear. Most importantly, he is proud of his success and looks forward to each new book!
