Description

Is the Spaghetti Ready?
eBook/PDF

Written by Frank B. Edwards
Illustrated by John Bianchi

It is supper time at the zoo and the animals are hungry. When they tell the zookeeper they want to eat, she dishes up a large plate of spaghetti and sends them to the table.

“We are hungry. When can we eat?”

“Here is your food. Now go to the table.”

When she checks on her animals, the zookeeper is surprised to discover that they have waited politely for her to join them before gobbling up their meal.

The books in this New Reader series are designed to encourage children to take their first tentative steps toward reading.

The series has proven to be very popular with teachers and parents as well as young children who enjoy the experience of learning to read. The books use classic literacy strategies to encourage new readers to learn language skills:

  • Repetition
  • Rhyme
  • Predictability
  • Simple illustration to provide context and clues
  • Simple language
  • Number patterns

Children quickly learn the word and number patterns so they can predict the number of characters who will appear on the following page and the words that develop the simple plots. Bright, colourful illustrations work wonderfully for  literacy instructors and parent who use a “story-talk” approach to engage children with the book.

(What is “story-talk?” Follow this link to watch a video of the author reading AND talking to a child about one of his New Reader books.)

The eBook also includes an illustrated introduction to the author and illustrator, as well as useful links to kids literacy tools.
