We're thrilled to announce the publication of our first 150 page volume of eight books for beginning readers: Cat and Tad. Following a basic phonological sequence, each book adds a new skill and slowly increases in level of challenge. Cat and Tad aligns with a phonics-based reading curriculum to provide plenty of low-pressure opportunities to practice reading and boost childrens' confidence, stamina and skill development.
Using Cat and Tad to practice reading will build a child’s:
- Letter sound skills
- Ability to sound out words
- Sight word recognition
- Reading comprehension
- Confidence as a reader
Why are our books different?
Cat and Tad has improved upon the traditional early reader in many big ways.
- Cat and Tad is written by a literacy specialist and follows an evidence-based scope and sequence.
- The text is developmentally appropriate for an early reader but doesn’t skimp on opportunities for vocabulary building.
- New reading skills are gradually added to build on the last and ensure that readers have plenty of opportunity to practice and build confidence.
- Each book in Cat and Tad comes with a ‘grown-up reader’ page to provide guidance on how to strengthen a child’s reading and comprehension skills.
- Cat and Tad features colorful and humorous painted illustrations that engage and motivate young children.
How Now’s early readers boost children’s skills, confidence, and independence as readers, and make for a joyful reading experience for reader and grown-up alike.
