Make learning to read more fun with award-winning Budding Reader eBooks, arguably the easiest learn-to-read book series on the market.

By repeating words and gradually adding new ones, Budding Reader eBooks help new readers (even reluctant ones) experience success from the very start.In total, the Budding Reader eBook series introduces more than 60 simple words including dozens of common sight words.
