HOW THE BAT GOT WINGS

This engaging book is aimed at children who are beginning to read. Like a Dr Seuss book, it is fun, engaging and supports developing reading skills. Most pages have four voices to carry the story: Banana the bat's words are easy for beginners, the fun poem helps to reinforce phonological awareness (a crucial early reading skill), the main storyline introduces more complex vocabulary and grammar and will probably be read (at least at first) to the child, and, finally, the mouse at the bottom of the page asks a question to encourage thinking about what happens next. This book is a fun way to start reading while also building vocabulary and grammar skills! It is loosely based on the concept of Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories and is already a favorite of all the children who have read it so far!
