Encouraging a new reader is so important to motivate him/her to develop a lifetime love for reading. HarperCollins

Each box set holds 11 learn-to-read books and a parent’s guide with ideas on how to make the reading journey fun for your young reader. The guide includes reward stickers for your child as well.
Each book deals with developing specific reading skills, using repetitive story pattern for ease, rhyme and bright, colorful illustrations to engage the young reader.
