How Rocket
Learned to Read
by Tad Hills
Kids Wings Award Book
Rocket
was a little dog who loved to frolic in the grass, play,
chew sticks. and sleep contentedly beneath his favorite
shade tree. The thought of reading never crossed his mind
until a little birdy teacher landed in his tree and announced
that school was about to start!
Rocket
was a reluctant student at first until he started listening
to the little bird's story of an unlucky dog named Buster
who had lost his bone. He needed to know how the story ended.
So, the little bird began to teach him how to read. How
could she use what she had around them...the wind...a dog's
growl...a worm?
As
the little bird migrated in the fall, she reminded Rocket
that words are made one letter at a time. All winter, Rocket
practiced writing his letters in the snow and spelling words
like D-I-G, S-U-N, C-O-L-D, and finally M-U-D. Can you guess
what happened in the spring?
How
Rocket Learns to Read is the perfect book for starting
school in kindergarten and first grade! |
