Learning to read is a challenging but exciting journey! Children are very motivated to learn to read and cannot wait to begin. To learn to read, children must decode the letters of words into their sounds, blend those sounds, and then recognize that what they just pronounced is a word they know.
This book will help children understand the nature of beginning to learn to read, and that they are detectives learning the "secret codes" of the English Writing System, which will help them become readers!
Parents and guardians can read this book to their children to help them understand what they will be doing when they begin learning to read. Teachers can use this book as an introduction to teaching their students to learn to read.
