Books with title Rick Is Sick

This is volume three, Reading Level 1, in a comprehensive program (Reading Levels 1 and 2) for beginning readers.Two nine-book sets teach reading to children from preschool to grades K and 1, emphasizing phonics while also presenting a lively and engaging collection of facts and stories to make kids’ reading experiences enjoyable. Each title emphasizes one phonics family, the first five books in each set focusing on one vowel sound, and the remaining four books combining some vowel sounds or reviewing them all. Short vowel families are covered in Level 1 readers and long vowel families in Level 2 books. Fiction titles feature attractive illustrations and have story themes ranging from funny to serious. Each fiction title also suggests a brief activity that allows kids to interact with the book’s subject matter. Nonfiction titles are photo illustrated, and include “Fun Facts” to enrich children’s reading experiences. The nonfiction books contain the basic elements of a nonfiction book, including glossary and index. They also suggest web sites appropriate to kids’ interests where more information about each book’s subject is offered. Both fiction and nonfiction titles contain word lists that group each book’s words into “decodable” words—those containing the book’s main vowel sound, which the book is either teaching or reviewing. Word lists also include high-frequency words and challenging words included in the main text. All books present a letter to parents and teachers explaining the fundamental concepts underlying both the series and the specific title. Level 1 readers are designed for classroom or home schooling use in preschool and kindergarten, and Level 2 readers for kindergarten and grade 1. “Nick is Sick” is a story that covers the “short i” sound.

From bestselling author-illustrator Pauline Oud! “Come on, Ian,” says Mom. “You’re sick and you’re going to bed. Take off your clothes and put on your pajamas.” Mom tucks Ian in and gives him a big kiss. Ian coughs a few times and then he falls asleep. Ian is sick. He can’t stop coughing and his throat hurts. Mom makes a cozy bed for Ian on the couch and Dad goes to the doctor to get some medicine. The next day, Ian is feeling a little better but he can’t go to school. Emma, the babysitter, stays with him while Mom and Dad go to work. They play games together and Emma makes delicious pancakes. The pancakes are magic, because Ian is soon feeling better again!
