Publisher's Description of Kind and Brave, 5th Edition (Abeka)
Trudge across an icy stream to rescue a dog with young Abe Lincoln, foil Mr. Wolf's plans with Mr. Rabbit, and watch a special basket with Miriam in this 107-page book. As your child reads the stories, poems, and fables about kindness and bravery, he will continue developing reading skills while cultivating character traits. This is the fifth book (1e) in the A Beka Reading Program for grade 1. Each of the nine books gradually advances your child's reading skills in accordance with his phonics instruction. This book helps your child recognize and apply phonics sounds from Basic Phonics Charts 10–11 and read words with suffixes. The comprehension questions at the end of the selections help you know that your child is reading for meaning. In addition, he will be challenged to consider the material and draw conclusions from it with interpretive questions marked with an asterisk. Additional comprehension questions are also available in the Teacher Edition or Reading 1 Answer Key. Gr. 1.
Abeka® Reading Grade 1’s goal is independent reading: first
reviewing phonics, then transitioning to reading skills. Character building
stories, reading comprehension and review, and coloring pages engage
children in their quest for reading
mastery.
