My Sister Book Level 6-8

My Sister is a heartwarming narrative told from the point of view of a young girl who's just started school and feels scared to go down the slide. Through expressive dialogue and charming illustrations, her older sister's gentle encouragement becomes a catalyst for bravery and overcoming fear. The text effectively models personal experience writing, making it ideal for early readers beginning to write about their own lives. The variety of sentence structures and high-frequency vocabulary promotes fluency, while the repeated imperative verbs and emotional expressions enhance engagement. Dialogue plays a central role in character development, with much of it presented without attribution, encouraging students to infer the speaker.
