My Cat Levels 1-2

My Cat follows a curious feline as it finds cosy spots around the home and yard. The book uses rhyming text and repeated sentence structures such as œHe is up on the¦, making it perfect for developing fluency and rhythm in young readers. Children are introduced to positional language and everyday nouns like œchair, œcar, œtree, and œfence, while phonemic focus includes sounds such as /t/ and the rime œ-e in œme and œHe. The relatable theme of pets and simple sentence flow support reading independence. Opportunities for extension include art, storytelling, and sound-matching games.
