Primary For Children

Our preteen years, ages nine to 13, can present some of the most difficult times in our young lives, a period of tremendous physical and emotional change. We're eager to leave the "kid" stage, yet we're uncertain about what adolescence will bring; we start hearing the familiar refrain "wait until you're older" far too often. Chicken Soup for the Preteen Soul is a companion guide for these transitional years.

Help your child master the key skill that will make them a faster and more fluent reader. Do you want your child to develop a love for reading that they’ll take with them into adulthood? Do you want them to build a vast vocabulary that will make them eloquent communicators and confident speakers? Try teaching them sight words - words that are meant to be recognized instantly by sight without the need to pause and think about it. These words account for up to 75 percent of words used in young children’s books and other printed materials.

We've created this audiobook to help children with spelling, grammar, and spelling bee preparedness. This book provides 16 weeks of 4 days of practice with a 5th day to see what they have learned. It is important to acknowledge any improvement they have made no matter how big their win. I am sure this goes without saying as we all have known children who excel in spelling naturally and those that have to really put in the time to make progress like I did.
