Consonant blends and diagraphs are one of the hardest skills for early readers to master, and they are essential skills for reading. These skills assist readers when learning unfamiliar words. Kiersten is a little girl who had trouble learning to read and was really embarrassed after kids laughed at her when she stumbled over words in class. After crying to her mom about the horrible day she had, the two worked together to help Kiersten master some phonics skills. The book is designed to introduce early readers to these skills.
