Published in the 1980s by Creative Teaching Press and Scholastic, My First Steps to Reading was a beloved alphabet series that helped preschoolers and early readers connect letters with lively characters and sounds. Each book introduced one letter through a cheerful story—The “A” Book, The “B” Book, and so on—featuring alliterative language, bold illustrations, and friendly animal protagonists that made phonics fun. Designed by educators for beginning literacy, the series combined repetition and rhythm to build confidence while fostering a lifelong love of books. With its sturdy square format and bright 1980s art style, My First Steps to Reading remains a nostalgic favorite among teachers, parents, and collectors of classic early-learning titles.
