Publisher's Synopsis
When a young boy's teacher announces that there will be a science fair in a few weeks, he is worried. He doesn't like science. But by doing research, asking his friends for help instead of going out to play soccer, and not giving up, he learns that making smart choices leads to success. In this instalment of the Positive Power series, kids will learn the affirmation "I am smart" through a relatable story of dedication and perseverance. Through simple text and joyful illustrations, this instalment in the Positive Power series inspires kids to make smart choices while giving them the confidence they need to transform from little to BIG readers. Step 2 Readers use basic vocabulary and short sentences to tell simple stories, for children who recognise familiar words and can sound out new words with help. Rhyme and rhythmic text paired with picture clues help children decode the story. Series Overview: Since 1984, Step into Reading has set the standard. Random House was the first trade publisher to implement a levelling system that recognised the developmental stages of beginning readers; offer a reader series as original paperbacks; and publish a mix of original and licensed titles. The line includes exciting fiction and non-fiction, favourite characters and innovative line extensions such as Non-Fiction Readers (now broken into categories), Comic Readers, Math Readers, Phonics Readers, and Sticker Books: a complete literacy program with something for every child.
