Slides Level 9-11

Slides is a vibrant non-fiction book that celebrates the simple joy of sliding! The story follows a young boy as he explores different types of slides-big ones, twisty ones, and even those with water. Through its repetitive sentence structure and vivid photographs, the book helps early readers explore the properties and materials of playground slides while reinforcing key phonics blends like œsl and œth. Question marks and exclamation marks are used to spark curiosity and expression in reading. As students read, they engage with descriptive vocabulary, positional language, and playful imagery that encourage exploration and observation.
