Bear Can Read: Empower Children with Social-Emotional & Literacy Skills (Sight Word Reader Books)

Product Information

I think it’s really important to pursue something that you’re passionate about and know there is a problem that needs fixing. When it comes to building the solution and having confidence in what The Bear Can Read does, I know how important it is to get phonics books that help children learn to read in the same way they are taught in school into the hands of young children. I know how critical it is to get the level of the book right so the child doesn’t feel frustrated or bored, and I know what an incredible impact getting this right can have on a child’s attainment across all subjects (and their happiness levels). I’m so passionate about making it easier for parents to support their child’s reading at home (as a mum of three myself I love our message of ‘open the box and you’re on your way, together we create readers’) and this mission has been my compass for the last 15 months. Have you ever had a mentor or career coach?

The Bear Can Read brings fun and focus to children’s reading – 10 to 15 minutes every day makes all the difference. We curate and commission the latest (and greatest) phonics materials for each age and stage. We shadow schools, so your child’s reading journey is a seamless transition between home and school. The right reading level An accurate reading is also really important for your child’s future learning at school. Throughout primary and secondary school – and right through further education and beyond – it’s so much harder to learn effectively without good reading skills. Learning their phonics will help your child to read accurately and focus on the meaning – which will enable them to learn so much more effectively in every part of the curriculum!

Being the very earliest stage box it is mainly about getting children interested in reading rather than starting to actually read (yet). It’s about laying the foundations for early reading. The quality of the materials is really good and the craft ideas are really good. What’s in the teddy box (3-4 years)

But we’d go further than that and say that learning to read phonics can offer your child five big benefits that will stay with them for life! 1. Read with speed Not sure which level your child needs? Have a look at our bear clubs and see what's included in the boxes. 4. Read with enjoymentMy 3 year old is just getting into the worksheets, but absolutely loves all the stories and books that come in her parcel every month. The addition of a character to support the stories is a wonderful touch. We are big readers in this house, and we always have been. Smallest Child is currently too small to read but she loves having stories read to her. The Bear Can Read is a reading subscription box for children aged 2 upwards. Each box is tailored to the reading stage of the child. It includes books and additional resources to help your child in their reading journey. The cubs box that we tried was all about festivals. There was an interactive board book about Chinese New Year. Smallest Child absolutely loved this book. It was really vibrant and a great way to start off learning about different world festivals. There were also craft ideas to help them learn about Christmas, Diwali, Chinese New Year and Hanuka. The boxes included all the resources to do the crafts. There’s also some additional activities in the box, instructions on how to use the resources and a recipe to make some bear biscuits. Teaching phonics can be quite daunting, both for you and your little one, therefore we want to help you every step of the way to make reading both fun and educational. Your child’s teacher might ask your child to read words that have sound buttons, or to write sound buttons under a word. So how does it work?

I have spent my whole career in publishing, but the last 10 years I worked as a children’s educational publisher. After writing my MA thesis on early literacy, and researching the importance of establishing reading habits from a young age and what a huge difference it makes if parents are involved to support reading at home, I knew I wanted to build my career in children’s publishing. The Bear Can Read, a subscription service delivering bespoke early literacy and phonics bundles to children aged 2-7 so that parents can support them at home, was an idea that bubbled away a couple of years until I finally took the leap. Did you ever sit down and plan your career? There’s an arch between ‘o’ and ‘e’! This is because o-e is a digraph – but the letters are split up, so we can’t just put a dash under them as usual. The arch over the top shows that o-e is a split vowel digraph – together, ‘o’ and ‘e’ make the sound ‘oa’. But the letter ‘m’ comes in between them to split them up! You know about digraphs – now meet trigraphs! In the word ‘night’, the long ‘i’ sound is spelled with three letters, ‘igh’. So, we put a dash under all three letters, to show they are a trigraph – three letters that make one sound. Camilla Macoun is a mother of three and Founder of The Bear Can Read, a subscription service for families with children aged 2-7. For our youngest club members aged 2-3 (Cub) and 3-4 (Teddy) we focus on the skills they need to be developing at home to keep pace with early learning goals. Tailored progressWe have been subscribing to That Bear Can Read since Christmas. These beautiful boxes of literary joy arrive every month to the delight of my 2 children (ages 6 and 3). There is the perfect balance of educational material and gifting.
