Hugs - LAZ Reader [Level E–first grade]

KINDERGARTEN TO FIRST GRADE readers will read the story of a group of friends, all but one of whom is having a bad day and needs a hug. The unexpected conclusion ends the book on an uplifting note. Hugs reinforces the validity of both good and bad feelings and the importance of receiving hugs for either kind. The simple story structure presents situations with which most students will be familiar. Charming illustrations support the text. Discussion questions after the reading help build interest and comprehension. Learner objectives: cause and effect, synonyms.

The app features interactive glossary pages that encourage early readers to explore challenging words through pictures and example sentences.

Learning A–Z provides materials delivered online and through the iTunes Store that help children learn to read, write, and discover the wonders of science. All our materials are leveled so that children can access information at their reading level. Our leveled readers begin at level aa with labeling objects. In level A simple sentences are presented. With each level thereafter the sentences get more complex and the words become a little more difficult.

A QUICK GUIDE IN PLACING YOUR CHILD at the appropriate reading level is to understand that level aa to C provides average kindergarten instruction; D to J—first grade; K to Q—second grade; R to U—third grade; V to Z—fourth and fifth grade. The letters earliest in the alphabet match beginning of the year instruction while letters at the end of each grade range match skills at the end of that grade year.

This book is available as part of a twelve-book set in the Level E Library.
