Beautiful and Confidence-Building
Posted by Carolyn Mixon E on 14th Jun 2017
This is the first Flyleaf book that I introduced to my first graders who had been reading decodable stories from MTA readers which are decent but somewhat dry with blackline drawings. Their immediate reaction to the beautiful book was "We can't read that. It looks hard." When they opened the book, saw the pictures and realized they could read the story, their eyes lit up and they were so excited! Even the struggling readers are eager to read Flyleaf books.
