We Both Read Treasure Bay, Inc. |
We Both Read is the first series of leveled books designed to invite parents and children to share the reading of a story by taking turns reading aloud. The “Shared Reading” innovation invites parents to read the more complex text and storyline on the left-hand pages. Children are encouraged to read the right-hand pages, which feature less complex text and storyline. Appropriate for Grades K-3. Reading aloud is one of the most important activities parents can share with their child to assist them in their reading development. Several COE faculty members and administrators have tested the series with their children or grandchildren with great success! Both read and both enjoyed the experience. |
