Great for Beginning Readers
This Dolch Word Book #2 includes charming stories, poems and word searches that are based on the Dolch Word List, the most commonly found words in the English language. Each word is presented numerous times after it is introduced, thus making it easier for beginning readers to learn and expand their sight vocabluary. Books like this one are a must for every beginning reader or child with a reading deficiency. In the Learning Disabilities Support web site there is a page on Choosing the Right Reading Approach that discusses the importance of the Dolch vocabulary list.

very good
This is such a helpful book. I like the idea of fables written in easy to read words. They teach lessons and entertain. The stories make us laugh while we understand the mistakes being made in the stories. We can learn to laugh at our mistakes and learn to do better. These three books teach reading and they teach values.
