Printable game boards, flashcards, handwriting sheets, and more are available to for additional practice. Information on the printables is provided in each book.

The (purple) Let's GO! books have fewer words for new or less confident readers. The (red) chapter books are longer for more reading practice. Kids enjoy these stories that get more complex and longer as more phonics are added throughout the series.
