Printables
Five free, print-ready packs for the years between holding a pencil and reading a sentence. Every one is US Letter, prints properly in black and white, and was built to be used for ten minutes at a time rather than admired.
These five are free samples, and they stay free. Download any of them straight from its page — no email address, no account, no sign-up. The wider printables library that follows these will be part of the SunMoonOcean Club.
The free sample packs
Roughly in the order a child needs them: forming letters, then hearing sounds inside words, then reading the words that refuse to be sounded out, then enough mileage to make it stick.

Three things that make more difference than which pack you pick.
Short beats long. Five to ten focused minutes a day will out-perform a forty-minute session at the weekend, and it will do it without the session that ends in tears. Stop while she still wants one more page.
Say the sound, not the letter name. Letter names are what children reach for when they are stuck, and they do not help you read a word. Model the sounds slowly, then say the whole word quickly.
Print in black and white. Every pack was designed with restrained colour so that a plain mono printer produces exactly the same usable page. Nothing here needs colour ink to work.
