Read Then Peek
A first-of-its-kind decodable book series for PreK–3 that hides visual clues until a child reads and then reveals them.
Pictures are great, but they can wait!
Where Every Peek Builds Confidence
Read the word carefully. Blend the sounds. Then peek to check.
Read Then Peek helps young readers practice and build their phonics skills through pure decoding, no guessing. Designed for the earliest stages of reading, Read Then Peek helps children learn how to decode words by applying letter sounds and blending them into spoken language.
How Read Then Peek Works
Words are presented with no pictures, students read then lift the page to reveal colorful, playful illustrations that confirm what they read. Each durable, high-quality book builds decoding accuracy, independence, and confidence. Developed for educators, families, and libraries, this 30-book set turns research into joyful reading practice.
Tips for
Reading this Book
Show your new reader capital letters in these books. Explain that capital letters help us know that a word can be someone's name, or that it is the beginning of a sentence.
If your reader has difficulty blending sounds, see the Blending Sounds Help Card.
