Gingersnap

Reach for this book when your child is just beginning to recognize letters and needs a safe, low-pressure environment to practice their burgeoning reading skills. If your little one is feeling frustrated by complex sentences or intimidated by longer stories, Gingersnap provides the perfect 'win' to boost their confidence. It transforms the often-tedious task of memorizing sight words into a joyful bonding moment through the antics of a relatable, high-energy pet. The story follows an adventurous orange tabby cat through a day of physical play and quiet rest. Using a controlled vocabulary of high-frequency sight words, the book allows children to take the lead in the reading process. This builds a sense of pride and accomplishment as they realize they can navigate a whole book independently. It is an ideal tool for preschoolers and kindergarteners who are moving from being read to, to reading on their own.
