What are other teachers saying about my complex sounds books?

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I have enjoyed using this with my child for extra practice at home. It is easy to use, quick, and we can take it with us to sneak in practice on the go.” – Michelle D.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I love using the blending books with my students. It makes decoding words easy.” – Resource Junkie

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Love it. Easy to use and at an appropriate level.” – Marie C.

Note: These books are most effective if used with students who already know how to decode words with simple sounds (consonants + vowels). There are many new words inside of each book for students to decode! I find these books “best fit” whole group for première and deuxième année, and/or with small groups of students who are more advanced in maternelle.
