All Kinds of Things Levels 1-2

In All Kinds of Things, readers are introduced to a group of children who each proudly showcase their collections-from rings and buttons to shiny and special things. With repetitive sentence structures and engaging illustrations, the text helps beginning readers recognise word endings, blends, and plural forms. The high-frequency word œI is repeated throughout, providing familiarity and fluency for emergent readers. This book supports early language development by focusing on noun recognition and word families. Children will connect with the content as they think about what they collect or value. The simple sentence structure and predictable pattern make this book ideal for shared or independent reading at an introductory level.
