The Sea Snail

This early reader captures your child's interest as the character, a sea snail with a beautiful shell, discovers his ocean home is best suited for him. Some words are shaped and colored for easier decoding and memory skills. Illustrations are colorful, detailed, and fun to look at closely. The large font helps your child focus on each word yet make quick progress through the page. Originally this series was designed for autism students with little interest in reading. However, all early readers find the story interesting enough to continue reading until the end, as well as discover the wonderful journey of reading in general.
