Reviewed by a phonics expert, these 12 short full-color books feature repeated examples of short and long vowel sounds and common sight words. Each of the simple stories in this box set is designed to teach kids how to master reading while rocking out with Pete the Cat.
Phonics teaches children the relationship between letters and the sounds they make. A child who has mastered these relationships has an excellent foundation for learning to read and spell.

Learn to Read with Pete the Cat!
When there’s trouble, it’s up to Pete the Cat’s alter ego, Super Pete, to save the day! With his cool jet, nifty goggles, and slick slingshot, Super Pete is ready to take down any bad guys. Pete the Cat and his family are heading off on a super groovy road trip. There are so many sights to see and things to do all over the United States! They travel everywhere from Savannah to San Francisco! Pete the Cat is ready for his first camping trip with his family. He gets to help collect sticks for the fire, eats s’mores, and even hear scary stories about a mysterious creature named Bigfoot. But Pete can’t help but wonder is Bigfoot real? Pete has lots of fun collecting shells and building a sand castle. It’s very hot, but Pete isn’t sure he wants to go in the water. The water looks scary! When his brother, Bob, offers to give him a surfing lesson, will Pete dare to give it a try? Young readers can develop their phonics skills with Pete the Cat! The phonics I Can Read box set comes with twelve full-color books covering short and long vowel sounds, a carry-along box, and original art from author/illustrator James Dean. This collection includes five stories from the Pete the Cat I Can Read series: Pete the Cat: Play Ball!, Pete the Cat: Pete’s Big Lunch, Pete the Cat: Pete at the Beach, Pete the Cat: A Pet for Pete, and Pete the Cat: Too Cool for School.

Customers say
Customers find these phonics books great for early readers, particularly for kindergarten and first grade, and appreciate that they keep kids reading and entertained. The stories are short and silly, and help boost emerging readers’ confidence. While the books are cute and customers consider them a great buy for the price, there are mixed opinions about the ease of reading and vocabulary, with some finding them too difficult for early readers and noting unconventional word choices.
