I Can Do It! (Step into Reading, Step 1, paper) [Paperback]

Sarah Albee (Author), Larry Di Fiore (Illustrator)

Book Description

Age Level: 4 and up | Grade Level: P and up | Series: Step into Reading

Mastering new skills is a part of growing up and every stage of development is marked by such learning. But sometimes a child will have a hard time with a new challenge. So here are Elmo, Big Bird, and their Sesame Street friends (including Grover, Zoe, Bert, Ernie, Rosita, and Telly) to show kids that it's terrific to learn how to do something new, and also, that if you get stuck, you can always ask for help from a parent, a teacher, a sibling, or a friend. And even asking for a hand can be a little bit hard at first! This Step 1 Step into Reading emphasizes core Sesame Street values of cooperation, friendship, and trying new things. The short rhyming text will please children who are just beginning to read on their own.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-K?A book that is right on target with the needs and skills of preschoolers. One sentence on each page in extra-large print, repetition of the phrase "I can," and predictable rhymes all aid in comprehension. Familiar situations illustrated with friendly Muppets will also help young children achieve success in reading. This title will work best with those who enjoy the TV program, but all kids like the feeling of success when they are able to say, "I can do it!"?Sharon R. Pearce, San Antonio Public Library, TX
