Publisher's Synopsis
When a little boy goes to his first swimming lesson, he is nervous. The water is deep, and he doesn't float. After water goes up his nose, he gets out of the pool. It's too scary. The little boy's teacher assures him that it's okay to be scared. And when they face his fear together, he discovers swimming is fun! The Dealing with Feelings series of early readers is designed to give voice to what's brewing inside. Through short, simple text and repetitive observational phrases, children will learn to name their emotions as they learn to read. Step 2 Readers use basic vocabulary and short sentences to tell simple stories, for children who recognise familiar words and can sound out new words with help. Rhyme and rhythmic text paired with picture clues help children decode the story. Series Overview: Since 1984, Step into Reading has set the standard. Random House was the first trade publisher to implement a levelling system that recognised the developmental stages of beginning readers; offer a reader series as original paperbacks; and publish a mix of original and licensed titles. The line includes exciting fiction and non-fiction, favourite characters and innovative line extensions such as Non-Fiction Readers (now broken into categories), Comic Readers, Math Readers, Phonics Readers, and Sticker Books: a complete literacy program with something for every child.
