Our first four books teach Pre-K through First Grade lessons:

The Teaching Train, supports initial sound acquisition. It is followed by the second book, Danny Dolphin 1, in which your child learns sound blending using consonant-vowel-consonant words. In Danny Dolphin 2  these C-V-C words plus sight words are used to practice making simple sentences.​The free, ABC Author to Be  has two parts: the blank template and the finished child created books. The blank template provides a format in which your child can apply the lessons from the previous activities to create their own book. It can be submitted back to us for a chance to be chosen as the ABC Author to Be book of the month. Each of those books are subsequently provided as a free PDf. file download for other children to print out, read and enjoy. Send your name and e-mail address to support@abcreadwithme.com if you wish to be informed when the following become available:  the latest free ABC Author To Be book, and or the next book in our learning series.
