Let the wind carry you away in this Level B reader, perfect for kindergarteners! Look! Two brothers are asleep in their bed when a magical breeze blows through their window, carrying a pinwheel. When the younger boy brings it to the window, the pinwheel carries him away! Written with only twelve simple words, this picture book is geared toward the newest readers, featuring energetic artwork that helps support understanding of the story. I See is a companion book to Joe Cepeda's other I Like to Read books, Up (a Guided Reading Level B book) and I Dig (Guided Reading Level C), featuring the same curious, excited brothers exploring the world around them and celebrating the diversity of everyday life. The award-winning I Like to Read® series focuses on guided reading levels A through G, based upon Fountas and Pinnell standards. Acclaimed author-illustrators--including winners of Caldecott, Theodor Seuss Geisel, and Coretta Scott King honors—create original, high quality illustrations that support comprehension of simple text and are fun for kids to read with parents, teachers, or on their own! Level B readers feature short sentences with high-frequency words, for kindergarten readers who've mastered Level A and are ready to build more fluency. The illustrations provide clues to word meanings.
