Emerging Readers

Emerging readers are in the exciting, but also challenging, phase of life where they are actively learning to read. Mastering letters, identifying words, grouping words into sentences, and reading multiple sentences per page. These readers are typically between the ages of 4 and 9, and in grades pre-K to 3rd.
