What readers say:

My daughter developed anxiety about reading and has experienced a tough time with reading fluency. We’ve TRIED ALMOST EVERYTHING, but this series is one of the only strategies that has worked to assuage her disdain for reading.

Ty’s Travels: All Aboard!
It’s good for beginner readers. This is the story about Ty who got a new scooter, and tries and tries to zip, zoom like other children do. It has the encouraging message saying that it’s great things to keep trying. We like it.

Ty’s Travels: Zip, Zoom!
Perfect as a bedtime read aloud or for emerging readers. Ty & his Dad are having fun together. Hey, where did that beach ball come from? Ty and his friend have crab walk races – oh so cute! Rich vocabulary, action and friendship. Everything a My First I Can Read book should be.
