What's Inside
Read this one on one with your child and pause to point to the words as you go. Transportation is how we get around. Find out all the ways you can get around.
The book gives children practice with beginning reading skills, repeated words, and high-frequency words. It also builds transportation vocabulary in a simple, easy-to-read way.
It is a good fit for children who are just starting to read and for adults who want a short book to reread often. For reading aloud, invite your child to point to each word and read the familiar lines again for extra fluency practice.
