Shared Readers - Ted’s Tales

Ted’s Tales are picture-book stories that suit kids (including little ones) who want to learn to read. They also help young readers and struggling readers gain fluency. They are ideal for reading together as special features, repetition and rhyme help get children chiming in at an increasing rate.


Easy Readers - Ted’s Readers

Ted’s Readers help children learn to read independently. As they have large print & generous spacing between the words, they also make ideal picture-book stories to read to little ones to help them pick up reading naturally. The stories have either a beginning, a climax, and a satisfying ending or some other special feature.


Word Family Tales

Word Family Tales are colourful picture-book stories to help kids learn common word families to boost reading and spelling skills. These Tales promote an awareness of letter sounds and are a fast way of learning many words in a meaningful, entertaining, and natural way.


Story Time

Story Time is a category of picture books to help children develop language skills and increase their vocabulary in a natural way. Therefore, these stories can contribute towards laying down the solid foundation necessary for your child to become a proficient, happy reader.
