Question: What would be better than learning to read?
Answer: Learning to read early, and learning to read well.

Starks Academy has produced an outstanding series of books that will help your child do just that. Author Leah M. Starks and artist Kristofer Floyd have created books that will not only stimulate your child’s desire to learn to read, they will be delightfully entertained while they learn.
These are not flimsy, fragile books; they are sturdy and made to be handled by children. The first book in the series, Ace Alligator Loves Apples, teaches your child about the letter ‘A’. The book also contains an activity, a Glossary, a phonetic section, and a section teaching your child interesting facts about words that start with ‘A’.

Learning early to use a Glossary will help your child develop a skill that will serve him or her well as they begin school, and continue to serve them through the rest of their life. Written in alliterated phonic style, these books use the sounds of the highlighted first letter repetitively. This style helps early learners to understand the sounds of each letter. The “Fun Facts” section is full of facts that your child will find interesting and that many adults do not know.
These books are a delight to read, and will give your child a head start in the all-important ‘game of life’.

A word to those of you who are as skeptical as I am, this is an honest review, not a paid advertisement. I have no financial interest in these books, I just really think they are that great. R. Stormy Choate.
