Ready to Read 1 (Printed Books)

Ready to Read is a complete Kindergarten–Grade 1 program that blends core subjects with a full phonics curriculum designed around skill-based progression rather than age, allowing you to place your child exactly where they need support on their journey to reading fluency. This 9-week bundle, Burrows and Holes, is Book 1 of 4 in the full-year program and explores the fascinating world beneath our feet—from caves and underground tunnels to the plants, insects, and animals that live there. With short daily lessons, engaging worksheets, and stunning custom illustrations, it keeps young learners curious and excited to learn. In this book, students focus on CVC words (consonant-vowel-consonant) and simple blends to build reading fluency, speed, and mastery—typically suited for Kindergarten to Grade 1, depending on the child. Book 2 begins bridging into the next stage of reading. This listing is for the printed books. If you prefer a digital option, a digital version is available separately.
