I don't normally leave feedback, but in this case I thought I should. I read a lot of the reviews for this product on amazon and I think some of the negative comments may discourage people from buying these books - I know I almost didn't buy them. It turns out that many of the negative feedback that I saw (books are too small, stories are too short, black and white pictures only) turned out to be fabulous positives for my daughter. The size is great for her little-ish hands, the stories are short enough to keep her attention for the purpose (engage her in the print and the story), the word use within the stories (repeating, rhyming, themed) are helping her learn to recognize sounds and letters, and the black and white illustrations keep it simple and are not distracting - I like how she looks at the letters as I'm running my finger along the bottom of words. She certainly did comment on the fact that the images were black and white, and not in color, but I took the queue from another reviewer and told my daughter that we could color the pictures any time she wanted to, and that was sufficient for us to move on with the reading. I have to say I am 100% happy with this purchase and I think the books will be very helpful in turning my daughter into a reader. I'm glad I read the positive reviews, otherwise I would have missed out on these awesome teaching tools.

In my daughter's kindergarten class, her teacher would send books home to practice with depending on grade level, and since my kid would forget to bring her book baggie home all the time, it was helpful to have these at home. Her teacher used these exact books in her class, so there was continuity at home, and my daughter went from not being able to read at all, to reading the D leveled books with no problem. We've got a few weeks left and her teacher told us she can move onto E books, and that we should continue practicing with C's and D's over the summer just to keep her brain active and she can remember all the reading strategies they've learned throughout the year.For the people complaining that they are tiny and thin, and that the illustrations are lacking--these books are perfect for beginning readers. There aren't any distractions from complicated pictures, and the pictures are simple enough so the kid can pick out their "picture clues", and then go back to focusing on the words. If you are unfamiliar with leveled readers, I can see why you might be disappointed, but if you want simple books that will actually help your child learn to read, these are perfect, especially for the price. I'm only wishing I could find such a large box of E-F readers, but they seem to go up to $1/book and are sold in smaller packs. Do yourself a favor, get these, and practice every night. You'll have a fully independent reader in just a few months, and boy will you be proud!

You will have to read the books to your average kindergarten or 1st grade student. However, it is great for energetic 2nd graders who need something to read just before bedtime.

My 5 year old grandson loves these books and the price is perfect !!

My granddaughter loves her books .. But they looked bigger than they actually are very small .

These are cute and a lot in the package, but the stories are very short and are probably better for coloring.

I got these books for my 1st graders. They are just the right amount of pages and not too difficult for them to read! Exactly what I was looking for!
