For early learners, the transition between hearing words read to them and reading on their own is one of the most exciting learning experiences. Through bright, fun illustrations of dinosaurs interacting with basic items such as a ball, a bat, a cat, and a dog, the most introductory words are brought to the forefront. Clear labels guide learners to read what they see, laying an important basic foundation for future reading fluency. A final page summarizes each featured word and an accompanying illustration, reinforcing the learning experience.
