Early Learning Books, Workbooks and Readers

One of the best ways to improve reading skills is to read to and with kids often. Our early learning books for sale provide entertaining stories that get children engaged and words to help them improve their sight-reading skills. Many of the books cover important general knowledge topics, too, such as opposites, colors, emotions and vehicles.In addition to books, we also carry a range of sight word readers — mini books that contain frequently used sight words — and workbooks with fun activities.

Easels and Flannel Board Supplies

Easels and flannel boards are versatile tools. Teachers can use them for demonstrations, while students can practice and get creative in countless ways. Between magnets and attachable flannel pieces, you can create tons of unique sets and teaching displays. Use them to draw letters, create a story with characters or place magnetic shapes to represent addition and subtraction units.

Story Props

Storytelling props are an excellent way to bring beloved stories to life. These kits focus on a classic children's story and may include figures, dolls, plastic toys and other small items to represent topics. You can play out the scene with the props or let students hold and play with them when you're done reading.

Other Resources for Teaching Reading

Our assortment of early reading resources includes miscellaneous tools, such as:
  • Sight word flashcards and games. Reinforce common sight words and quiz young students with these handy card sets and games.
  • Flip charts. Flip charts are also great for sight words and might include short phrases or poems with the words.
  • Hot Dots Talking Pens and activity sets. Hot Dot Talking Pens speak up and create audio and visual responses when a child presses buttons on Hot Dot activity books and cards. Kids get to work independently and at their own pace, two important skills they'll need in the future.
