About this title

From the Publisher:

Learning to read is a complex process. For beginning readers, a crucial step in the process is learning to associate letters with sounds (eg., the short vowel sound of the letter a). The simple verses and patterns in Patty Cat combine with a strong story line, memorable characters, and delightful illustrations to ensure that beginning readers will have a successful and enjoyable reading experience.

The LET'S READ TOGETHER series helps satisfy a growing demand by parents for books that support the "learning to read" experience that can be shared with their children. Includes a list of the short a words featured in the story and fun activities for parent and child to do together. The read-along cassette encourages independent reading, vocabulary building, and enhances listening skills.

From the Author:

My goal in writing the fifteen books that comprise the LET'S READ TOGETHER series was to merge the strengths of two approaches to teaching reading, whole language and phonics. The books combine carefully controlled vocabulary emphasizing the application of specific vowel sounds and their variant patterns-AND-authentic stories that have appealing characters, lively action, engaging plots, opportunities for prediction and decision making, and satisfying resolutions.
