Brightstep 1st Grade Chapter Stories for Fabulous Girls: 10 Stories That Start Easy and Grow With Her, So She Reads Her First Chapter Book All By Herself (Ages 6-7)

She starts on page one with words she can already sound out. She finishes a real chapter book all by herself. Most first-grade story collections stay at one level. Brightstep climbs. Ten stories, ten steps: Story 1 has two short chapters and six-word sentences. Story 10 has five chapters, longer sentences, and endings that make her turn the page. Every step is a little harder than the last, never easier, so she grows into the book instead of outgrowing it. Along the way she meets Tess, a first grader with a big heart, a spotty puppy named Dot, and a thick blue book she can't read yet. Over one school year Tess gets through the first day, loses a tooth, builds a snow pal, counts to 100, makes a new friend, loses the class hamster, rides without training wheels, runs a three-legged race, and, in June, reads the big book. All by herself. Inside: 10 stories and 33 chapters, each story a step up from the last Words she can sound out, in the order first-grade phonics is taught (sh, ch, th, blends, magic e, vowel teams), plus a Words to Know box before every story Talk About It questions after every story Illustrated throughout A Brightstep Ladder to color in after each story, a My Word Collection checklist of all 56 new words, and a certificate to frame when she finishes For girls ages 6–7, reading on their own or with a grown-up. A gift that lasts a whole school year. Grab your copy now and watch her climb!
