The Little Blossom Stories series uses curriculum-based fiction to ease children into reading. Each book uses decodable text, a repetition of sight words, and vowel sounds to increase readability. Original illustrations help guide readers through the text. Cecilia Minden, Ph.D., a literacy consultant and former director of the Language and Literacy program at Harvard Graduate School of Education, created the text and format. An author biography, phonetics, and teaching guides are included in every book.
