## Description
The second Word Family Reader continues to bring a fun way for children to learn to read. The new stories use rhyming words that have the same ending sound but a different beginning sound. Nell who can spell and Bill and Jill who had a spill are just two more of 42 entertaining stories.
The Word Family Reader approach is endorsed by educators as a great way for young children to acquire a basic knowledge of phonics. There are no pictures in these books. When children read them, they are truly reading - not relying on pictures to recognize words.
Word Family Readers - 1 and 2
• start young children reading right away.
• have 84 stories to be read.
• provide audio versions of each story.
• reinforce reading skills through games.
• teach children to read and spell 400 one-syllable words.
The stories also incorporate a large number of sight words.
The two authors of this series, Peggy Gisler and Marge Eberts, are very experienced reading teachers who -
• have written more than 50 textbooks for beginning readers that are used in schools across the country.
• teach teachers how to teach reading.
• hold reading specialist degrees (Ed.S.) in education.
• won the Children's Reading Round Table award for their beginning reader - Pancakes, Crackers, and Pizza
