DEAR FRIENDS, I recently heard from a friend who just returned from an overseas trip to Japan. She called to tell me that, while abroad, she visited the largest bookstore in Kyoto only to discover an impressive presence of books by innovativeKids®, and she wanted to congratulate me on our worldwide distribution. In that moment, I realized for the first time how amazing it is to do something you love and be fortunate enough to reach children all around the world. I know I speak for the entire innovativeKids® team when I say we love what we do!

Kids and parents love it! Not only do the books progress in a logical series, building skills one upon the other, there are also “study questions” and a list of skills covered at the back of each book. My kindergartners love these books! —Teacher

The greatest reading success comes from a balance of phonics and literaturebased reading. Now I’m Reading!TM successfully combines both to build confident, independent readers. —Carmelita K. Williams, President, International Reading Association My son already knew his alphabet and the phonetic sound of each letter but had not “put it all together” to really read. Within just a few days, he had started sounding out the words in the first few stories and had mastered some basic sight words . . . The stories and illustrations are entertaining for both of us, and each booklet builds up his confidence in his ability as well as his love of reading! I’m recommending these books to other parents for sure! —Parent My son can read! We’ve tried it all, and this has finally got him excited . . . Thanks so much! —Parent
