Abe Builds a Birdhouse

A child must chase a windblown wig that eventually lands on a pig. This simple story for beginning readers teaches the 'ig' sound through rhyming text and bright, original illustrations. Additional features to aid in comprehension include a word list for review, a note to parents and educators, and an introduction to the author and illustrator. Author/Illustrator biography Activities for further learning Rhyming is a skill that is foundational for learning to read. Through simple, engaging text, our Rhyming Word Families series introduces common letter groupings and repeats them throughout a silly story. This repetition allows beginning readers to identify the rhyming patterns and begin to read on their own. Outstanding original artwork, an introduction to the author and illustrator, and a word list for review all further aid new readers' comprehension.
