This Level 1 co-reader is designed to be read aloud with an experienced reader and the emerging reader. Pages are marked “You Read” with smaller text and more details for the adult or experienced reader, then the same concept is repeated in the “I Read” section with fewer words and larger-type text. High quality, full-color photos accompany the text descriptions of what a veterinarian does for pets, farm animals, wild animals, and even ocean animals. Each chapter ends with a suggested activity; these books are high interest and can be used with English language learners of all ages.
