Where will your little one's reading journey begin?
Before children read stories on their own, they sound out their first words, turn their first pages, and discover the joy of reading something all by themselves.
Little Oak Readers were created for those early days.
With careful text and a thoughtful progression, this first primer helps beginning readers build confidence one sound, one word, and one story at a time. Thoughtfully designed to align with the Science of Reading, each reader provides wholesome practice, preserving the warmth and beauty of childhood.
Whether gathered around the kitchen table, tucked into a morning basket, or read beneath a favorite tree, these books were made to be used, loved, and read again and again.
Because every reading journey begins somewhere.

**Is my child ready for Primer One?** Little Oak Primer One is designed for children who have basic mastery of their letter sounds and are ready to blend their first words. Primer One is an 8-week program that covers CVC/Short Vowel first words.
**Still need letter practice?** Start with Foundations-- a pre-reading program designed to help children gain phonemic awareness and letter sound mastery before moving forward to Little Oak Primer One.
**Need more than CVC's?** If your child is ready for steps beyond Primer One (cvc's, digraphs, etc.), keep your eyes out for Primer Two (and beyond), coming soon.
**Not even there yet?** Let your little one enjoy playing school with our Sprout Packs- learning discovery packets with sweet poems, tracing, cutting, and scripture exercises. Then move to Foundations when they are ready for a more formal curriculum.
