Three of these American Language Readers are used in Memoria Press Complete Kindergarten Curriculum.

Filled with short reading passages about friends, animals, nature, and valuable moral lessons it helps young readers practice simple short-vowel words. By reading the short-vowel words in these stories like, “sun,” “pup,” “hat,” and “den,” students will not only grow their vocabulary, but also become more confident readers.
Scamp and Tramp: This lively collection of readings helps students practice with consonant clusters and is the second book in the K series of American Language Readers.
