What's Inside
As you sit and read this one-on-one, the book invites a child to watch, listen, and read the same lines more than once. The page copy says, "We can do anything! Watch what each of us can do."
This book gives children practice with beginning reading skills, repeated words, and pointing to the words on the page. It also supports fluency by encouraging children to read it over and over again.
It is a good fit for early readers who are just learning how print works. When you read it aloud, pause on repeated words and let the child point to each word as you go.
