Learn to Read with Tug the Pup and Friends! Box Set 2

Build your child's beginning reading success with this set of 11 simple and fun storybooks plus a separate parent guide and reward stickers!

Written by educator and reading specialist Dr. Julie M. Wood, with lively illustrations by Sebastien Braun, this set of books stars Tug the Pup and an endearing group of characters who will lead beginners through the proven steps for successful reading.

The Learn to Read with Tug the Pup books features sight word vocabulary, simple text, strong picture support, and character and plot development. The parent guide lists ideas for building early literacy skills through shared reading, games, and art activities. Plus stickers are included for added encouragement.

The 11 stories in this box set are Guided Reading Levels C–E, which means the stories are still very simple but include dialogue and are slightly more advanced than the A and B level stories. 

Enter into the world of reading with My Very First I Can Read! This comprehensive emergent reading program addresses all the components of reading mastery based on the latest early literacy research.
