About: Loretta Short, a Reading Recovery® teacher in West Michigan, began writing Short Books for her reading students in 1996 after she became frustrated by her inability to find early reader texts focused on the first sight words children need to learn to read automatically. She also discovered that early reader books were too predictable, filled with colorful, busy illustrations, and not focused on the high frequency words. So Loretta created her own book series. Words: a, I see, my, the, go to, and, can, you, am, on/look, is, at, me, this, he/she, we, in, do/like, it, come, up, here, at the zoo
