Presents reading activities that focus on vocabulary, counting, and sound awareness, in a text that includes a story about the activities that go on around Rosa as she reads her book.
This is a good Rookie Reader. Rosa is distracted by the loud, busy kids on her street. The first half of the book shows her trying to read while others run, bounce balls, slam doors and so on. She yells QUIET!!!, and the second half of the short story half shows Rosa turning the pages while quiet activities occur around her. The book ends with Rosa stating, “I love to read!” This would be a great book to use to introduce little ones to quiet reading time or to stress the love of reading and reading for enjoyment. The repetitive text make it a perfect choice for beginning readers.
