I Can Read Levels 1-2

I Can Read follows a young girl as she proudly shares her growing reading skills with friends and family. With a predictable and repetitive structure, the text is perfect for new readers just starting their reading journey. High-frequency words such as "I", "can", and "my" are repeated throughout the text to build familiarity and confidence. The book introduces phonetic elements such as the hard "c" in "can" and supports comprehension through illustrations that provide contextual cues. A subtle narrative progression is shown through changes in the girl's clothing and the text's final line, œI can read to myself, highlighting personal growth and independence. This title encourages early literacy development and builds self-esteem in emergent readers.
