Dive in to Brook's school and read... More > his story. Then talk with a parent about what you could do if you ever found yourself in the same trouble.
Brook's stories are written especially for first graders to read on their own. The story has about 300 words, most of which follow English grammar rules, making it easier for beginning readers to sound them out. Many words in the story were specifically chosen because they have common first grade consonant blend sounds, reinforcing what the kids are learning in school. Most of the sentences use a simple structure, but there are a few compound sentences to mix things up. And the story ends with a what-would-you-do type of question for the reader to discuss with her own family. I hope your reader enjoys it as much as my first grader did.< Less
