The Red Well-Read Reader teaches kids how to read through ingenious and humorous "plays on words" in 360 rhyming stories. Each story has a preponderance of just one rhyme, highlighted in boldface type so as to be easily read. Collectively the stories cover virtually every "family" of words, and every sound and every spelling thereof. Each title incorporates the one sound to be focused on. To wit: stories 1, 2 & 3 respectively have the names Nabbed, The Wacky Hack, and Tact. In alphabetical sequence, these initial stories cover the short "a" sound, ending with Story 32, "The Razzmatazz." Stories 33-59 cover the long "a" sound, from "On the Quay" to "Praise the Lord." Story 60, "The Bizarre Czar" begins the study of the hard "r" sound. And onward it goes for 240 more information-packed and fun stories that cover 15 more "sound families" in just over 300 pages.
Teachers, or parents with more than one child, will find that this book is very easy to use with children of varying ages, aptitudes and maturity levels. Young students will soon be able to read any story, but not fully comprehend its subtleties, that now and then may fly over the heads of more-worldly teenagers. Yet, no matter how sophisticated any story may be, every student advances at his or her individual pace. What's more, every story will put a smile on your face!
This is a textbook quality publication, hardback and brightly covered in red binding. Fantastical original pen and ink drawings are tastefully interspersed throughout the book and add to the enjoyment for kids and adults alike. HOME SCHOOLERS: This book is a must for you if you are trying to teach your kids to read and write at home!
