What's Inside
The "an" word family is really cool. Discover the words along with me.
Children practice how words work as they read and spot the "an" pattern again and again. They also use word boxes, hear sounds in words, and read simple word family words.
This short leveled book fits early readers who are learning to notice word patterns and connect letters with sounds.
