What's Inside
For children who are starting to read more smoothly, this level E book gives good practice with short, clear sentences. Reach for it when you want a book that can be read more than once to build confidence and fluency.
The book invites children to think about what the big boy and little boy can do. As they read, they practice noticing how words work, using punctuation, and checking their understanding as they go.
It also fits well for children who are ready to compare what different people can do and talk about their own growing skills.
