Learning to read means learning a variety of related skills, including letter recognition, phonics, and vocabulary. Together, these skills help children learn one thing: how to look at print and understand what it says.
The books in this series teach young readers to look beyond the sounds of the words and get at the meaning of the text. Special "think-aloud" prompts guide children to predict, visualize, infer, connect, and question so that they more deeply understand the story's meaning.
Colourful illustrations and simple storylines about bikes, lemonade stands, pets, and more make these books appealing to young readers.
