My Red Ball tells a fun short children’s story about a red ball.
Repetition and use of sight words make this book perfect for an early reader.
Another great free children’s book from African Storybook.

Hi! I’m Cherry, I like this website very much; however, could I get some audios for whole these book on this website for listening and flash cards? Thank you so much!
Hi Cherry, there are quite a few books that have a youtube video attached for the audio, we’re working on more, but take a look around you will find there are some. As for flashcards, I am not sure of what would be expected, some of the books do have editable versions (see our “MORE” tab), where you can quite easily modify to create your own material, please feel free to email me if you have a suggestion which we can take up, Danielle (danielle “at” redskyventures.org)
perfect for very early readers! my 3 year old can read or sound out almost every word used.
Yes, I love these confidence building early readers too! You can try checking out our early reader section for more, https://freekidsbooks.org/subject/early-reader/, and I found this book, https://freekidsbooks.org/three-four-five-letter-stories/ also really useful for building a foundation of word sounding skills and confidence.
good
It was easy to read, the kids loved it. They wanted to where the Big Red Ball went? Did she find it or was it lost forever, and why?
I really liked the book because it helps build my baby’s vocabulary words and actions works. It’s was very nice. He is now sleeping like an angel. Thanks you
