Dear: The Note

Digital PDF Edition · 76 pages · Ages 4–7 · Read Together

The first thing they read was written for them.

Dear: The Note is Book 1 of the five-book Dear learn-to-read series, a story-led phonics journey designed to give beginning readers a reason to decode every word. Your child practices just 15 short-vowel CVC words, then uses them to uncover a real note, line by line.

Instead of disconnected word drills, the reading has a purpose: your child wants to know what the message says.

What your child practices

• Short-vowel CVC decoding
• Sound-by-sound blending
• Reading aloud with growing confidence
• Rereading for smoother fluency

Built for reading together

The large text is for the child. A separate caregiver band tells the adult what to say, ask, point to, and when to wait, keeping the experience slow, supportive, and focused on the child doing the reading.

The five-book Dear journey

Book 1: CVC words → Book 2: consonant blends → Book 3: silent e → Book 4: vowel teams → Book 5: full review, fluency, and first writing.
