The Reading Wizards: Learning to Read with Phonics

The Reading Wizards is geared toward beginning and struggling readers by teaching phonics. Seymour the Cat is now learning to read, thanks to his friend and teacher, Maximillian the Reading Wizard. Seymour's other animal and human friends are already reading, so they help him understand decoding simple words. It's a fun way to learn.
