PreS-Gr 1—These small books won't take up a lot of shelf space, but they will provide value to your collection. Targeted toward the youngest of readers, these series titles offer step-by-step solutions to specific issues and concerns that children deal with, such as doing homework, cleaning their rooms, and recycling. The first-person narratives draw in readers and make the very simple texts (about one sentence per page) clear and relatable. Full-color photographs that directly match the action assist in reading comprehension. At the end of each book, activity ideas are provided that can help kids make smart choices and help themselves and their communities. A solid way to start kids out on the road to personal responsibility.
A boy performs the necessary steps to complete his homework. Most kids won't find it fascinating to watch another child sit at a desk ("I sharpen my pencil. Then I set out my math worksheet"), but the clear photos will help support new readers with text/picture matching. A writing activity, word list, and "fun facts" are appended. Glos., ind.
