To My Fellow Early Childhood Educators,

As Director of Education for The Early Reading Company™, it is my deep pleasure to welcome you to the world of AlphaBits for Kids™ and the extraordinary materials our team has assembled to make teaching children to read easier and more fun than ever before.

As an early childhood educator myself since 1971, I have shared the struggles, the questions of what is appropriate and how can I ever find time to do everything I am supposed to do, as well as the fun and the incredible joys of teaching young children. Over the years, my interest in how children learn to read has continued to grow until it has become my passion.

As pressure mounts to teach America's children how to read earlier, we have found ways to make it fun, entertaining, interactive, developmentally appropriate, and it really works!

Based on more than twenty years of research and development and the successful experience of teaching thousands of four-and five-year-olds to read with these materials, we are confident you will find in them exactly what you need. The Early Reading Company is here for you!

Sincerely yours,
Mary Ellen Maunz
Educational Director
