Scott Foresman Reading Street 2007 Grade 1 Student Edition 1.2 High-interest, authentic literature provides opportunities for cross-textual reading in the content areas. Practice with higher-order thinking skills and writing tasks prepares students for state tests. (Volume 2).
Scientifically research-based program supports state standards in literacy, science, mathematics, social studies, art and music to prepare children for Kindergarten. Teacher's Guides help build and assess children's cognitive skills, alphabet knowledge, and social-emotional development. Interactive charts with songs and activities inspire class discussion and build oral vocabulary. Big Books, Trade Books, and Little Books provide shared reading experiences and develop children's concepts of print.
These are really great books for teaching kids how to read. All of the kids have enjoyed reading these, especially Israel. These are older books but I found that the vocabulary in this book lined up nicely with the vocabulary that Israel is learning in 2nd grade now. The stories are nice and interesting and make Israel feel like he was a proficient reader.
