The Half-Pint Readers were written and illustrated by LuAnn Santillo, a Kindergarten teacher in the Riverside Beaver County School District in Pennsylvania. She created these little phonics books for her students to read while they learned the letter sounds through phonemic awareness instruction. Word quickly spread about the effectiveness of these leveled, decodable readers. As a result, thousands of children are now enjoying the Half-Pint Readers and becoming confident, motivated readers!
