Fun with phonics

I bought this book after reading "Big Cats" from the same series. I like that the font is large and the words are simple. It's a fun story about a girl spending time with her pet cat and rat. The illustrator did a great job with the characters' expressions. Despite it being 20+ pages long, it keeps the interest of my 2 yr old and hopefully it will help him recognize familiar words. There are only a few words per page. The words are simple & repeated frequently throughout the book and it is a good way to start learning to read using phonics.

'We Read Phonics' focuses on a phonics style approach to acquiring and improving reading skills with three titles (Pat, Cat, and Rat; Matt and Sid; Big Cats) at Level 1; three titles (Which Pet Is Best?; Where Is My Frog?; and Bugs on the Bus) at Level 2; and three titles (Ant In her Pants; How to Make a Pancake; and Whales) at Level 3. Beautifully illustrated in color and deftly written for children in grades K-2, each 32-page title is available in both a hardcover and a paperback edition. Parents engaged in home schooling will find the 'We Read Phonics' series to be especially appropriate for inculcating a love of reading.
