Tonight before bed I decided to try these on my daughter. With other beginning readers she'll read one or two. Tonight she finished one, and snatched the next and the next until we had read all Level A books, all Level B books, and started the first of four Level C books.
...This was the first one she started to struggle on. I believe we have three left and it took some convincing for me to get her to agree to wait until tomorrow. Unlike most beginner books sets with 12 books, the 12th book is indeed a parents guide with stickers to use upon completion of reading a book.
...These are perfect at her current level. We have finished phonograms A-Z and long vowels with short as well as some magic e. She automatically got /ch/ in chick and did well with the /th/ we came across in repetition but I did have to explain /ay/ that was new to her. But was then repeated enough that I believe it will stick! I'm impressed and a fan.
