A blow-by-blow account of one of the most famous ferry rides in the
world, this Level F book is perfect for kindergarteners and first
graders to read on their own.
Breathtaking scenes illustrate and illuminate a text that is just right
for new readers:
We go on the ferry.
Let's go to the window.
We see a fort.
We see a long, long bridge.
Realistic digital etchings of the Manhattan skyline, the escalator to a
gangplank, New York City crowds, and landmarks such as the Statue of
Liberty, Ellis Island and more give new readers an experience that
builds skills, boosts confidence, and shows how reading is fun!
This book has been officially leveled by using the Fountas & Pinnell
Text Level Gradient(TM) Leveling System.
Level F books, for early first graders, feature longer, more varied
sentences than Level E. Level F books encourage kids to decode new
multi-syllable words in addition to recognizing sight words. Stories are
more complex, and illustrations provide support and additional detail.
When Level F is mastered, follow up with Level G.
The award-winning I Like to Read series features guided reading
levels A through G, based upon Fountas & 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 again and again with their parents, teachers or on their
own!
