Veritas Press Catalog 2008/2009 - (Page 8) F I R S T G R A D E The books covered represent all that is good about children’s literature. A great next step after finishing the the Phonics Museum. Do not miss this level of development. This year is a magical time in the student’s reading journey, and these collections of books will nurture a deep appreciation for quality literature. In Volume 1 students are given developmentally tailored comprehension questions and, among other things, directions for mouse-shaped cookies and instructions for constructing puppets and a marshmallow-and-peanut butter jar easy chair! Volume 2 includes reading comprehension questions that are building in difficulty, and many “extras” as well, including a recipe for stone soup and designs for new clothes for that vain, fashion-conscious Emperor. Both have handwriting exercises, a clear icon system for teachers to follow, and simple instructions for students to foster independent work.
