Book Reviews of Starfall Learn to Read Phonics Book Set: Zac the Rat and Other Tales!
Book Review: Best set of beginner learn to read books!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm extremely satisfied with the Starfall Learn to Read book set. It's a great value in that it includes 15 books, plus the packaging which has velcro tabs to keep the books secure, and a carry handle on the box. This is definitely money well spent and a much better value than buying learn-to-read books one at a time.
We bought these for our son (in kindergarten) as supplemental reading books to his schoolwork/homework. They are excellent. They're about the same skill level as the material his teacher was using (Scott Foresman series), though these books are a few pages longer. I like this in that the stories are a bit more detailed and coherent than the Foresman books. Starfall's are actual short stories rather than just individual pages describing a picture all about a similar theme.
In the back of each book, it tells you the learning concepts (letter sounds, long sounds, short sounds, etc), and the books stick to this. I've found that there's usually one or two words per book my son needs help with, which seems about right - not too hard, but not simple, either. These are great books for the beginning reader. I found that intro books like Dr. Seuss and similar ones are still too difficult for him. On the other hand, it was difficult to find books on the same level as Starfall without getting either a teaching kit, or paying $3-$4 per book at bookstores. By buying the series, you ensure you're getting multiple concepts, sounds, and phonics without duplicates or leaving some out.
The books are very nice quality - definitely worth the price paid. They're appropriate difficulty, have nice story lines, and there's a lot of them. You can't go wrong with using these to help get your child reading or supplementing their school work.
