Complete 26-Book Alphabet Series for Early Literacy

The Learn to Read Alphabet Kit includes all 26 interactive storybooks (A–Z) designed to teach letter recognition, letter sounds, and foundational phonics skills. Each book features engaging activities, visual cues, and discussion prompts that help young learners build vocabulary and knowledge while mastering the alphabet — the essential first step in the Science of Reading.

This is one of our most popular early literacy resources for the beginning of the school year. Students need to be explicitly taught basic phonemic awareness skills to move forward as emergent and then independent readers. These playful alphabet books are perfect for setting up your structured literacy routine from day one.

Science of Reading Alignment:

The Science of Reading tells us that letter-sound knowledge is the foundation of all reading development. Students cannot decode words until they know their letters and the sounds they represent. This kit provides the explicit, systematic instruction that research shows is most effective — with multi-sensory activities that create multiple memory pathways for each letter and sound. Every book follows the same predictable structure, making implementation easy and consistent.

What Teachers Are Saying:

"I have been using module 1 with my students that are working on learning their letters and sounds. I love how engaging the little books are. My students like playing the little games in the stories. The beautiful photos and hands-on games has truly made learning letter and sounds an adventure for them!"
— ED, Happy K Teacher

Frequently Asked Questions:

Do I need to teach the letters in A–Z order?
No — the teaching manual includes guidance on how to sequence the books to align with your phonics program's letter introduction order. You don't have to follow alphabetical order.

Are these books decodable?
These are alphabet concept books designed for the very earliest stage of literacy — letter recognition and letter-sound introduction. They pair perfectly with our decodable readers kits as students progress.

Can families use this at home?
Absolutely. The books are designed to be read together with an adult, and the discussion prompts make shared reading easy and engaging for parents and caregivers.

What comes after the Alphabet Kit?
Once students know their letters and sounds, they're ready to start blending and decoding CVC words. The natural next step is our Developing Decoders Kit.

Is this good for ESL or bilingual learners?
Yes — the visual cues, repetitive structure, and hands-on activities make this kit especially effective for English language learners building foundational literacy skills.
