This story is part of the "I'm Going To Read" up to 50 words. This book is appropriate for 4 to 6 years, Kindergarten - 1st grade. There are words at the top of the page which are part of the word bank. There are many repeated words which will help students be come confidence readers. The story talks about children playing with a dog and friends and fun activities.

[Cornelius · Rating 3 out of 5]

For kindergarten children, I would use this book in the classroom to expose children to different words, so they will be able to recognize them while reading other books.
