Give Your Preschooler a Strong Start in Reading in Only 20 Minutes a Day

Wouldn't you love to:

• show your preschooler how much fun it is to read and learn;

• contribute positively to your child's emotional stability and self-esteem;



• establish a meaningful and intimate relationship with your preschooler;

• snuggle on the sofa and read to your child every day;

• enjoy firsthand your young one's great sense of curiosity;

• witness the satisfaction your child experiences when he or she finally "gets" something;

• and build fond memories that both of you will treasure for a lifetime?

That's why Sonlight has created the Read to Me! Little Explorer Starter Kit^™ — to help parents like you connect with your young one through the shared adventure of learning.

Read to Me! Little Explorer Starter Kit^™

The Read to Me! Little Explorer Starter Kit^™ is a 9-week program specially designed to give you a delightful learning experience with your 4- to 6-year-old child.

We've chosen 7 splendid books for the Starter Kit — books you'll be able to read to your child in a pleasant 20 minutes a day over the course of 9 weeks.

Your preschooler will learn about God's miracles in the Family-Time Bible; plants, animals, seasons, and more in The Berenstain Bears' Big Book of Science and Nature; the amazing jobs different people fulfill in Things People Do; bedtime stories from all over the world in The Lion Storyteller Bedtime Book; and much more.

One of the seven books you'll receive, Developing the Early Learner, Vol. 1, is quite unique. It's first in a 4-book series, and it's specially designed to increase young children's perceptual skills. In volume 1, your child will develop all the perceptual skills on the chart below.

Developing the Early Learner, Vol. 1 is a must for young children. In fact, research has proven that programmed perceptual training, like that provided in the Early Learner series, can actually increase IQ!

But the gorgeous books are only half of the value you'll receive when you order the Read to Me! Little Explorer Starter Kit^™... the other half you'll find in an indispensable 40-page parent guide that contains an easy-to-use, 9-week, day-by-day schedule.

The schedule saves you planning time and maximizes the time you get to spend with your preschooler. And it organizes the books to give you and your preschooler a variety of pleasurable readings each day.

On a typical day, you'll read selections from four or five different books. Talk about variety — and fun!

"The read-aloud time is such a fun, bonding time for us. The other day my son said sweetly and sincerely, "Mommy, I just love it when you read to me." It warmed my heart."

In addition to the readings, your preschooler will have a weekly memory verse to learn, keyed to a specific character quality. In the first three weeks, your preschooler will learn about attentiveness, faith, and generosity.

You'll also get to share a poem or prayer, song, and activity with your preschooler each week. (These are also detailed in the parent guide.)

The seven books without the Sonlight-exclusive parent guide are just great books. With the parent guide, the whole collection becomes a self-propelled learning adventure, guaranteed to bring you and your child joy every day.
