At Just Right Reader, we believe that families play an important role in their children’s literacy journey. When families prioritize reading at home, it becomes a joyful part of daily life.
Your child’s Just Right Reader Science of ReadingTake-Everywhere Literacy Pack™ is a powerful tool to support their reading development!
Here are some fun tips for putting the Science of Reading into action and making the most of these books to help your child thrive as a reader!
1. Dive into Phonics Fun with Videos
Start by scanning the QR code on each book.
This will take you to a 2-minute phonics video lesson in English, Spanish, and many more languages! Each video reinforces the phonics skills your child is learning, making practice fun and interactive.
2. High Five Reading Practice
Reading is a skill that gets stronger with practice—just like any other activity!
Encourage your child to read and reread their books. Start by reading one book together, then explore the rest of the pack at your own pace—whether it’s one book a day or more! Once you’ve finished, revisit the books from the beginning to reinforce their skills and keep the fun going!
After reading, color in the High Five Reading chart at the back of the book to celebrate their progress.
3. Write, Write, Write!
Reading and writing go hand in hand. Each book includes a writing practice section on the last page.
Encourage your child to write the words they’ve read and add more from the decodable word list to strengthen their writing skills.

Celebrate Progress: Acknowledge small victories! Specific praise boosts confidence and motivation, whether it’s finishing a book or sounding out new words.
