Reviews

A self-professed word nerd and former literacy coach, Cleary brings his own brand of playful humor to this title in the Sounds like Reading series, a step-by-step program for emergent readers that incorporates repetition, rhyme, and phonics. The third book in the series, this text features words with long vowel sounds, with each double-page spread introducing readers to a set of three short, rhyming words (for instance, Jake, make, rake) and then using them in a sentence (“Jake can make a cake with a rake”). Smaller illustrations offer visual clues to the words’ meanings and a larger illustration depicts the sentence’s action. As the primer progresses in complexity, readers are prompted to find a bonus rhyming word or two within each sentence. Cleary’s imaginative, often humorous text and Miskimins’ vibrant cartoon-like digital illustrations featuring animals and children make this a standout reading primer that is also well suited for English-language learners. Grades K-2. --Kristen McKulski
