Playful Pals is one of two Level 1 books in the Now I'm Reading! series. The set contains ten 10-page books which feature short-vowel sounds simple consonant sounds, and beginning sight words. The ten books are: Rat Naps, Fox Hops, Pig Sits, Bug on a Rug, A Bed for Pets, The Plant, Hop Frog Hop, Drips and Spills, A Trunk for Buck, and Egg Legs. The set comes with a Parent Guide booklet which explains how to get the most out of the books and help your child to be a successful reader. Each book comes with 5 incentive stickers (50 in all) to reward your little reader. Books 1-5 feature mostly three-letter words and some four-letter words. Books 6-10 feature mostly four-letter words and some five-letter words.
The books are great for holding the child's attention and interest through funny stories and pictures. My child learned to read with this series and has taken those phonics skills to more advanced levels. These are books your child will WANT to read! Highly recommend!
