K-3A+ Books: Words I Know series.
The many examples in these language-concept books are organized into categories (e.g., "Class Time" in Verbs); each spread awkwardly introduces the category ("The bell says it's time to start. / Do you love school with all your heart?") and lists words in rhyming couplets: "answer, spell, ask, recite / read, print, draw, write." High-action photos exemplifying the words contribute to an energetic layout. Reading list. Review covers these A+ Books: Words I Know titles: A Backpack Full of Verbs and A Mouthful of Onomatopoeia.
