Starting to Read with Sniffer

Reach for this book when your child is hovering between being a listener and a reader, particularly if they are feeling a bit nervous about making mistakes. This charming story introduces Sniffer, a playful dog who helps demystify the process of recognizing letters and sounds. By focusing on the bond between a pet and a child, the book lowers the stakes of early literacy, making the journey feel like a collaborative game rather than a difficult lesson. As Sniffer explores the world of words, your child is encouraged to celebrate small wins and build the self-confidence needed to tackle new phonetic challenges. It is perfectly suited for children ages 4 to 6 who are entering the big kid phase of formal schooling. It transforms the potential frustration of early reading into a moment of shared pride and curiosity.
