Help expand your child’s imagination and reading skills! In It Would Be Fun!, a little boy imagines having the traits of different animals and discovers that each one is perfect just the way it is, and so is he. “I think it would be fun to have wings so I could fly. But wings are so much better for a hawk in the sky.”

Intended as a next step after Level 1 introduction to reading, this Level 2 storybook from the Start to Read! series features controlled vocabulary, simple sentence patterns, and rhyming words. The story introduces 50-70 new words, and many of them can be read by changing the initial sound or by rhyming with a known word. Picture clues provide considerable support for the text. All the elements add up to reading success! You may need to help your child sound out some words, then after several readings together, encourage him or her to read alone. This is just one selection in Dr. James Hoffman’s Start to Read! Early Reading Program, with storybooks across three progressive reading levels.
