Enter into the world of reading with My Very First I Can Read! This comprehensive emergent reading program addresses all the components of reading mastery based on the latest early literacy research. Written by educator and reading specialist Dr. Julie M. Wood, with lively illustrations by Sebastien Braun, this Common Core-aligned program stars Tug the Pup and an endearing group of characters who will lead beginners through the proven steps for successful reading. The Learn to Read with Tug the Pup program features important Common Core State Standards connections, including sight word vocabulary, simple text, strong picture support, and character and plot development. The eleven short stories in box set two are Guided Reading Levels C-E, which means the stories are still very simple but include dialogue and are slightly more advanced than the A and B level stories. Each box set also comes with reward stickers and a Parents' Guide that provides hours of additional reading activities.

Reviews
"Wood's use of simple text, high-frequency words, and narrative structure are the ideal blend of skills to engage emerging readers. Braun's charming illustrations provide a splash of color to the humorous tales. A parent guide lists suggestions for building early literacy skills through shared reading, games, and art activities. Stickers are also included for added encouragement. Refreshing additions to beginning reader sections, and fans of 'Bob' books (Scholastic), developed by Bobby Lynn Maslen, will be overjoyed." - School Library Journal
