Introducing the first learning to read support subscription box based on reading science! This box empowers you to help your child become a skilled reader with ease, confidence, and pleasure with curated literacy tools and knowledge customized to your reader conveniently delivered to your doorstep every month.
August's learning to read support box is all about savoring those endless lazy days of summer. Sunny days reading. Camping. Family time. Staying up late. All of those core summer memories. This month's theme, "S'More Books" encompasses all of that.
Allow me to be your guide as I take you through what's coming in your August 2023 box.
The star of the show is always an Express Readers decodable book. It's the one thing that's hard to find anywhere else. Think of decodables books as practice. Just like a pianist practices scales before they're able to play the concert piece, your child needs to practice reading with decodables before they can read any text put in front of them.
These books only have one new phonics pattern to practice and are essential to build reading confidence.
Not only are these decodable books engaging, but they also have large font, colorful pictures, and fun stories. This is how we customize the box to your reader. The decodable reader in your box will include only one new phonics pattern that your child needs to practice.
Next, we have a half-sized three-lined composition journal perfect to practice handwriting and dictation. Perfect for school, too!
Did you do Mad Libs as a kid? What if you could share that memory with your child and connect together. National Geographic's Funny Fill-In does just that. Learn about the parts of speech, then laugh together as you complete these ocean adventure themed fill-in stories.
Our chapter read aloud this month is Hello From Renn Lake by Michele Weber Hurwitz. It's about a girl abandoned as a baby with a connection to Renn Lake, where her adoptive family has run lakeside cabins for generations. Then a harmful patch of algae closes Renn Lake and destroys her magical connection to the place. She teams up with friends, determined to find a way to save the lake. An uplifting, meaningful story where kids change the world that your family is sure to love!
Don't forget goodies for you! Parenting is hard. Teaching your child to read is challenging. That's why we include 1 - 2 self-care and lifestyle products just for you every month. You matter, and you deserve to treat yourself!
The rolled beach hat is your new perfect travel accessory. It rolls up to fit in any bag and is the cutest to wear in the sun. (Bonus, if it's reading in the sun!)
Last, but certainly not least, we have two creamsicle Ellovi lip butters. This lip butter is handmade and vegan with no synthetic chemicals or preservatives with just 6 pure ingredients. This is going to be a new staple in your purse...that's how good it feels on your lips.
And that's all from me this month! I can't wait to hear which product is your favorite this month.
