This is a beautifully illustrated series that fits in with the UK Key Stage learning scale. It comes with a wordbank that helps children learn new words through reinforcement and repetition. This title has a wonderful short story that is perfectly placed for children aged 6-7 years, yet increases their learning at the same time. There is a wish to catch a fish, another to be boss of the kitchen, and one more to hold a piece of the moon: that's three, for morning, noon, and night! What would your wishes be? 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: 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.
