My grandson Stephen is six years old and, thanks to Power Readers, he can read! His parents have been using your Power Readers with him. I never doubted Stephen's intelligence or ability to learn - his behavior needed some modification! But your books certainly helped him along the way. He really had a good grasp of phonics when I saw him in January. Sounding out words and letters seemed to come naturally. Thank you! -- anonymous (former English teacher)

I found that the Power Readers complemented my reading series. I liked the way that they were sequenced and incrementally structured, gradually building in difficulty. The small upward steps made a big difference for my kindergarten students. I have recommended these books to several other primary teachers. -- C. Nale (California)

I really liked the Power Readers. They were fun and they were good stories. -- Caleb, a kindergarten student in California

Your Power Readers arrived safely today. I think they're really great, and I especially like the questions at the back. The National Literacy Strategy places a lot of emphasis on the art of questioning, using Bloom's taxonomy, so you are at the cutting edge over here! -- Lesley Drake (England)

At last! Little readers that not only have simple, systematic, and progressive stories which can be sounded out phonetically, but are funny, charming, and engaging to older readers as well. And the illustrations are absolutely wonderful! -- D. Hiskes, reading consultant and author (California)

I LOVE THESE Power Readers! These are going to be the best decodable readers ever—by far!!!! The questions are superb, the activities are excellent, and the passages are darling. I can't wait to recommend these. -- L. Farrell, reading consultant and author (Virginia)

These readers are wonderful. My sons have a tendency to try to substitute words by looking at the pictures. The way you've done the illustrations, my sons cannot do that; they have to look at the words. -- T. Kinney

Just wanted to let you know that we received the Power Readers yesterday afternoon and Zach and I started with Zap today. He LOVED it! He really enjoyed the activities. I made Zach a fancy folder to put his reading work in and he feels like such a big boy! -- S. Johnson

I have found the Power Reader books to be a terrific supplement to the Phonics Pathways reading program. They allow my son to practice reading after learning a new lesson. -- J. Rindflesh

As an educator, I like to know what my goals and expectations are for my students and have a sense of direction as well. As a parent teaching my own daughter to read -- not a specialty of mine, I felt perplexed as I bought curriculum after curriculum trying to ascertain the above mentioned in each program. I was reluctant to buy yet another thing. I received your Power Readers promptly and delved into them right away with my daughter. I am so pleased with them! Thank you. They were just the "missing link" I was looking for. I now know how to bridge the gap between sounding out words and fluency. I now know what to expect of my daughter and how to pace her. Thanks again. -- Jill Archer
