How Rocket Learned to Read

How Rocket Learned to Read
by Tad Hills
Random House, 2010
Summary:  In this delightful tale, Rocket is taught to read by his teacher, a yellow bird.  When she flies south for the winter, Rocket continues to practice his reading skills during his vacation. 

Lesson:  This was the last story I read to the Kinder and 1st graders before summer vacation.  They enjoyed sounding out the words with Rocket, showing that they too had learned to read.  At the end, we talked about practicing their reading during their vacation. 

Level:  Pre-K - 2nd
