Meet Ellie, the Dot Monster — the little monster learning big manners!
When something goes wrong…
Uh-oh! A dot appears on Ellie’s body.
A fairy will appear and remind
And when Ellie fixes the problem…
Ta-da! The dot disappears!
Designed especially for preschoolers and beginning readers, the Dot Monster books use:
- simple repetitive words
- predictable phrases
- visual storytelling
- pattern recognition
to help children feel successful reading independently.
With fewer than 6 words per page, children quickly begin recognizing and remembering the text — building reading confidence while learning important social skills and manners. (The smaller words allow you to provide more detail to your child and are not meant for your child to read.) It's a fun confidence-building beginner reader about learning to say “thank you”!
The goal is for your child to enjoy reading to you.Perfect for:
- ages 2-6 (toddlers, preschoolers. kindergarten readers, emergent readers)
- ESL learners
- speech therapy
- read-aloud time
- Teaching polite words and social skills
- Beginning readers learning word recognition
There are activities (Find-it, Verbs in action, step-by-step drawing) at the end of the book to help children learn more about the words of the book.
