Two Simple Rules Level 9-11

Two Simple Rules offers a valuable look into how respectful behaviour and cooperation shape a positive classroom environment. In this engaging informational text, students and a teacher explore the importance of getting along and helping one another through relatable conversations and clear examples. Vibrant action photographs and a conversational tone bring the classroom setting to life, while visual elements such as charts and lists support key comprehension skills. This title extends learning introduced in Discovering My World (pages 14-15), helping young readers deepen their understanding of social rules and their impact on communities. With support for phonics skills such as consonant blends (œgr-, œwr-, œsp-, œbr-, œcl-) and digraphs (œth, œsh, œkn), this book also strengthens reading fluency. A helpful glossary introduces new vocabulary, including contractions like œthat's, allowing learners to decode and retain new language. Ideal for social studies and classroom culture discussions, this book lays the foundation for respectful communication and self-management.
