Read it yourself is a series of classic, traditional tales, written in a simple way to give children a confident and successful start to reading. Each book is carefully structured to include many high-frequency words that are vital for first reading. The sentences on each page are supported closely by pictures to help with reading, and to offer lively details to talk about. The books are graded into four levels that progressively introduce wider vocabulary and longer stories as a reader`s ability grows. Level 1 is ideal for children who have received some initial reading instruction. Each story is told very simply, using a small number of frequently repeated words.
