Catholic Easy Readers by Nancy Nicholson

Do you have a youngster who is positively famished to read more, but isn’t quite ready for chapter books? Or a student who needs just a little bit more practice, but is reluctant to go over the day’s reading lesson yet again? The short stories featured in What Do You Like to Do... (for students who have completed Little Stories for Little Folks , Level 2) and What Can You Do... (for students who have completed Level 3) will please the “hungry” eager reader, as well as provide encouraging practice for reluctant readers. These easy readers also introduce youngsters to writing composition through “journal pages” that not only give the child special ownership of his book but also create a precious record of the child’s responses. What Do You Like to Do... invites discussion and written responses about favorite pastimes throughout the seasons. Family-friendly story topics foster thoughtfulness, responsibility, and appreciation of our Holy Faith. 25 stories. Features layflat perfect binding for ease of use. 150 pgs. 8½"×5½" Illustrated. WLD $13.95

“W HAT Can You Do.. . was especially helpful for our son. He had completed the Little Stories for Little Folks series, but was not quite ready for chapter books and the smaller print in Bigger Stories for Little Folks seemed daunting to him. He enjoyed reading the stories through the seasons and also writing about the things he likes to do. He was able to think about the liturgical calendar in relation to the seasons and write about them in the journal. Since he was still a beginning reader/writer, he hadn't had much exposure to writing stories, but following the format of the stories in each section helped him create short versions of the stories all on his own.” —Kelly, WI

Stories in What Can You Do... are based on the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy, made understandable through situations the child himself might encounter. As the child reads discussion-stimulating stories of other children, he is invited and challenged to write about his own responses to the call to serve Christ in others. 25 stories. Features layflat perfect binding for ease of use. 167 pgs. 8½"×5½" Illustrated. WCD $13.95
