Reading Skill Set, Box 6, 1st to 2nd grade

The step-by-step progression in this box really clicked for my son—each activity builds on the last without feeling repetitive. He's actually asking to do reading practice now, which never happened before. The instruction cards are clear enough that we just grab the next one and go.

My daughter's reading jumped noticeably within a couple weeks of starting Box 6 — the activities layer new skills so smoothly onto what she already knows that she doesn't even realize she's practicing. She genuinely asks to do it before bed.

We've been using this alongside his school reading, and the leveled activities hit that sweet spot between too easy and frustrating. The word-building cards in Box 6 are sturdy and have held up to daily use for weeks.
