Each Ready-to-Go! Ready-to-Read includes a note to parents explaining what their child can expect, a guide at the beginning for readers to become familiar with the words they will encounter in the story, and reading comprehension questions at the end.

In this book, readers will learn twenty-two sight words and sixteen words from seven word families. So come on and get reading!

About The Author

Photograph by Ria Winanda

Alastair Heim writes children’s picture books. He lives in Kansas City with his awesomely awesome family who inspire him every day. Laughter is his favorite sound, purple is his favorite color, and other-people-cooking-for-him is his favorite food. Alastair is a huge fan of music and has been known to play the guitar with impeccable mediocrity. After experiencing the joy, laughter, and wondrous awe picture books brought his kids (and still do), he thought that there would be nothing cooler than to see that same reaction come from one of Daddy’s stories. He hopes his books put smiles on other kids’ faces, too.
