Reviews

[Kate Foran]

This is a Dick and Jane book, if Dick and Jane were Amish children on a farm. (It's a basal reader with controlled vocabulary.) This is the mid-first grade reader that is not aggressive about adding words- only 117 new words are introduced in this 155-page book--the rest were in the previous reader, "First Steps."

My 6-year-old found this book pretty funny and read it happily. We use these books to work on fluency/prosody--there is a lot of of dialogue that can be read with drama.

One content note - the second half of the book involves a misbehaving puppy who is getting (implied) beatings for digging holes, chewing on shoes, etc., so he learns to be a good dog...

Great first reader!

[Johannes Kristian]

When it has a line and a dot [an exclamation point:] I read it as loud as my lungs will do it.

[Jaeger Matthias]

I thought that the story about the doll running up into the tree was very funny.
