I am a mum and teacher for 1st year students. I would love to have a copy of your free readers for my kids.
Hi Ruth, we only do ebooks right now – you can download them all on the site, but the free hard copies are in the pipeline, I am just trying to gather feedback about how to do this, most likely we would start with those without access to good reading resources, it would be wonderful if you can perhaps ask some of the kids to come up with ideas, not sure if first years will be able to contribute a great deal but they may surprise me :-), but perhaps other years in your school?
Illustration are clear and beautiful

Yes i liked it as my 4 year old could have read it to me.
Hi, yes – this book comes from the Mustard Seed levelled readers and is in the correct “level” for around 4 to 6 (home language dependant) year old age group! Great to hear that it works.
How can I buy several copies of the book, At the Zoo, for my Kindergarten Guided reading group?
Hi Victoria, this book (it is under open license) can be printed on demand for school use- that is you are welcome to take it to somewhere to print, I can print it for you, but it would take me some time and money, as it is a short book and full colour. POD if you want will be around 15$ a book inclusive of shipping. (- For other readers, this is not applicable to all books).
