What are the Read With Me books?

Does this resource align with the science of reading?

Absolutely. The science of reading is a body of research related to the teaching of reading. Research tells us that we don't memorize words as wholes. (Otherwise, you'd know up to 70,000 words as whole images ... and your brain can't do that!)

Instead, we learn to read words automatically because we're good at orthographic mapping. We become good at orthographic mapping (storing words for future, instant retrieval) when we're proficient at phonemic awareness and phonic decoding ... and this resource is ideal for building the skill of phonic decoding!

Will you ship me the books?

No. With your purchase, you will receive a digital file. Physical books will not be shipped.

What happens after I purchase?

You'll receive an email with a link to download the files. Save the files to your computer, and you can access them at any time.

What if I need help with my purchase?

We're just an email away! Contact our team at hello@reachallreaders.com, and we'll respond within 24 hours, excluding holidays.

Is this offer too good to be true?

Almost! That's why it's only available for a limited time. Our Thankful for You Sale ends at 5:00 a.m. Central on Tuesday, December 1. After that, the four sets and the bonus books cost $115 when you buy them separately.
