The books in this Beginning-to-Read collection may look
somewhat familiar in that the original versions could have been
a part of your own early reading experiences. These carefully written texts feature common sight
words to provide your child multiple exposures to the words appearing most frequently in written text.
These new versions have been updated and the engaging illustrations are highly appealing to a
contemporary audience of young readers.
Begin by reading the story to your child, followed by letting him or her read familiar words and soon
your child will be able to read the story independently. At each step of the way, be sure to praise
your readers efforts to build his or her condence as an independent reader. Discuss the pictures and
encourage your child to make connections between the story and his or her own life. At the end of the
story, you will nd reading activities and a word list that will help your child practice and strengthen
beginning reading skills. These activities, along with the comprehension questions are aligned to current
standards, so reading efforts at home will directly support the instructional goals in the classroom.
Above all, the most important part of the reading experience is to have fun and enjoy it!
