Reading Booster A Cards

$16.99

Each lesson in the Level K Course Book will direct you to work on the beautiful and fun Reading Booster... Cards and/or Books. The child will go through the Cards and Books at his or her own pace. Once a card is mastered, your child selects a sticker from the sticker sheets in the back and places it on the “Mastered” circle at the bottom of the card. Each card focuses on a certain phonics principle or a group of kindergarten sight words. Review cards are placed intermittently throughout the cards. These Reading Booster Cards will also tell you when to read the Reading Booster Books. These adorable and fascinating books correlate directly with each card.
