Celebrate! — Dona Herweck Rice

Pumpkins for Halloween, fireworks for the 4th of July, and cake for a birthday. These are things that we use to celebrate holidays and special events. Perfect for 1st grade students, this book teaches these 7 high-frequency words from Fry's First 100 words list: she, said, time, there, a, is, and for. The short sentences and clear images support the text to help with memorization. The rebus pictures and simple text build grade 1 reading comprehension in a format that is appealing to children. Beginning readers will learn the essential sight words and gain confidence as they learn to read independently.
