Based on the best research on how children develop reading skills, these six books introduce a carefully selected progression of letter sounds-starting with the easiest and most common. Each book helps build a young reader's confidence with repeated examples of the letter sounds being focused on, as well as "words to learn" and "words to sound out." These books will readily appeal to Dora's audience of beginning readers as they capture all of the familiar elements from Dora's hit TV show, including her spunky personality.
Mother has given her children an ultimatum-their messy room must be cleaned up in 30 minutes, or else! But do the four little crocodiles get right to work? Not exactly. The rambunctious reptiles spend the time making up games, singing songs, having fun, and adding to the jumble of toys.
Penned by S. Tepper and R. Bennett in 1955, this funny Christmas carol asks the children to be good, if they want Santa Claus to bring them gifts on Christmas.
