Half-Pint Readers

Are you looking for phonics readers that are fun to read, easy to decode and affordable? Half-Pint Readers are all that and more!

Half-Pint Readers were written by an experienced Kindergarten teacher for her own students to read, not by a large curriculum company. This personal touch of a classroom teacher makes these phonics readers both practical and effective as each word was carefully chosen. With so many children experiencing success, Half-Pint Readers are quickly growing in popularity.

Based upon the principles of phonemic awareness and phonics instruction, the Half-Pint Readers introduce only a few sounds or new skills at a time while providing lots of opportunities for practice before adding more skills.

Each book builds upon the skills of previous books so children experience success and gain confidence right from the start. Half-Pint Readers are designed to improve fluency through controlled vocabulary throughout the series. Comprehension skills are also developed by a strong correlation between illustrations and text, interesting story plots and follow-up questions at the end of each book.

Half-Pint Readers are unique in that each set of six books centers on a different theme. 18 exciting themes open up a world of learning in science and social studies. Children love the Half-Pint characters and all of their funny adventures. They can hardly wait to read the next set!

Our program meets all of the qualifications for No Child Left Behind and can be used as a Kindergarten and beginning First-Grade reading program or to supplement an existing program. They are perfect for remediation, adult literacy, English as a Second Language, learning support and for home-schooling.

Half-Pint readers follow the Orton-Gillingham approach to teaching reading. Our program is systematic, sequential and cumulative in design. Research shows that this is the most effective way to teach children to read. Half-Pint Readers are endorsed by Orton-Gillingham-Institute for Multi-Sensory Education.

Our unique "Fun With Phonemes" books provide over 200 exciting games and ideas to reinforce phonemic awareness, phonics and writing skills. These games are designed to reach all learning styles and can be used along with the Half-Pint Readers or with any reading program to improve reading skills while having fun!

Half-Pint Readers are perfect for Christian home-schooling because the little stories provide opportunities to teach good values. Our Christian version includes a different Bible verse for each book. While children learn to read, they can also learn about the Bible and God's will.

Add all three levels of Half-Pint Readers to the shelves of your home or classroom library and watch your "half-pint" become a happy and confident reader!
