What's Inside
For children who are learning to read simple sentences, this short book gives practice with a familiar pattern and one important sight word. Read it again and again to build confidence and smooth reading.
We did not go to the park or the fair but we went to the movies. Let's read some high frequency words.
Children practice reading high frequency words, noticing the word did, and reading a complete sentence with fluency. It works well for guided reading, small groups, or quick practice at home.
