This is a beautifully illustrated series that fits in with the UK Key Stage learning scale. It comes with a word bank that helps children learn new words through reinforcement and repetition. It presents a wonderful short story that is perfectly placed for children aged 6-7 years, yet increases their learning at the same time. New boots, new jacket, new hat...but no snow! Kids know how hard it is to wait - and this charmingly impatient boy just wants winter to arrive. Every day he goes to the window and peeks out - and every day the sun shines. Will those big white flakes ever fall? This series has been developed to grow the new reader. "I'm Going to Read[trademark]" offers children entertaining stories and spectacular artwork, plus an innovative method for reinforcing vocabulary at levels 1 and 2. It also includes an easy to read word bank that highlights new words as they are introduced. The books are a strong complement to whatever reading programme your child is using at school - whether it is phonics, literature based or a combination of the two.
