What's Inside
For children who are ready to practice reading a short leveled book, this title gives them a simple topic to work with and a line they can return to again and again.
The page copy points readers toward fluency, rereading, self-correcting, and checking that the sentence still makes sense. It also supports using word parts to figure out unfamiliar words.
Reach for this with a beginning reader who is building confidence with level H text and needs practice reading smoothly, accurately, and with expression.
