About the Book

Yes, I Want To Read was written by an author who has high interest in what makes nonreaders read, as well as helping them enjoy books and develop a love for reading.

In working with pupils from beginning young readers to adults, she has come to some meaningful realizations through her observations from her work. She has observed that most young readers and adults alike, who learn to read, have a desire to read. Another observation is if they are given some reading materials that talk about a graphic illustration or an image, this will help them see meaning in the words they are reading on the printed page and develop a joy for reading.

The text in this book has been designed to meet the needs of young readers and adults who have a strong desire to read. They should be able to begin reading while using this material. This book has just enough repetition to reinforce readers to feel positive about their reading throughout the text.

Some important things that one will read about in this book are the body and its parts. Throughout the book, one will see the body being talked about from the head to the toes, with each statement being meaningful.
