Books for starting school
Stories about a first day somewhere new, for the weeks before a child starts and the weeks after.
A first day is easier to face if you have been through one in a story. School is one of the things a child can choose a book to be about, and at the start of the school year the library has a shelf of stories about a first day somewhere new.
Every book is written at the level the child reads. For a child who is just learning, that means it is built from the letter sounds they have been taught, so the book is one they can try to read themselves, with a voice to help.
What kind of book they get
The family chooses the level when they use the code, so you do not need to know it. These are the four kinds of book we write.
- A short picture book to share aloud.
- A first book to read yourself, built from sounds you know.
- A first chapter book with a hook at the end of each chapter.
- A longer story with subplots, and paths you can choose.
How to give them
Books start at $8.99 for 10. You pay once and nothing renews. We send a code to you or to the family, and it can be used for 1 year. You do not need an account, and we do not ask you anything about the child.
