About the Book
This book is designed to make learning fun for children in kindergarten through primary grades. It teaches recognition of high frequency words and introduces word families, all color-coordinated, written with rhythm and rhyme, linking sight and sound to memory. Tested in several USA first grade classes during the 2007- 2008 school year, the book has proven to be both a popular and productive teaching tool. Children love the rhythm of the words, the fun and imaginative stories, and teachers find that word recognition, spelling and reading among students who are given free rein with the book improve dramatically.
