While we can't speak for every child and every experience, we can offer some insight into how to place a child within our curriculum structure. By the time a child enters first grade, they should be quite ready to read Little Bear. That is a good test of 1st grade readiness. If they aren't that far, they will need to back up and do at least Book D of First Start Reading before attempting first grade reading. And if someone is unsure of where their child falls in 1st grade readiness, our CSRs are ready and waiting to help place their child in the ideal spot.
