Editorial Review:

Book Description:
This Level 1 book is appropriate for children who are just beginning to read.

Jack Dale is building five new houses. One is for the Wilson family. Will the Wilsons like their new house? This unique Level 1 series accurately portrays real-life situations that help young children identify with and learn from while helping them improve their reading skills. Presented in classic DK style, young readers will enjoy photographically illustrated information in an entertaining package. For children who are just beginning to read and who have a limited vocabulary, these 32-page Level 1 books-about everything from tadpoles to puppies-use word repetition and simple sentences to convey meaning. Picture dictionary boxes with word labels "show" the meanings of words. These books contain between 400 and 450 words each, and they are 80 percent pictures and 20 percent text. The Dorling Kindersley Readers combine an enticing visual layout with high-interest, easy-to-read stories to captivate and delight young bookworms who are just getting started. Written by leading children's authors and compiled in consultation with literacy experts, these engaging books build reader confidence along with a lifelong appreciation for nonfiction, classic stories, and biographies. There is a DK Reader to interest every child at every level, from preschool to grade 4.



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Grows with your child.
I bought this book for my two year-old son so we could read it together. He enjoys reading it with me and talking about what Jack the Builder is doing. The book also incorporates telling-time into the story. It's simple but interesting and encourages your child to take the book and try to read it on his own when he's ready.
