This “Ready-to-Read: Pre-level One” text is full of playful pigs and easy reading. The book follows a group of pigs through their day as they plan and participate in a picnic. Many of the lines rhyme and there is at least one allusion to another book in the “Ready-to-Read” collection.
My first grader was engaged in his first reading of this book, but wasn’t interested in picking it up for a second read. I think this speaks to the easily decoded language and pictures for which a second reading won’t offer much new information than the first. Simple and uncomplicated is exactly what many new readers need.
