Synopsis

This entertaining new series of simplified, illustrated graded readers has been designed to enable children to learn to read by themselves, needing only minimal help from parents or teachers. The Word by Word series is intended for English-speaking children learning to read as well as children learning English as a second or foreign language. This collection contains the first 3 books in the 12-book series. To see ALL the Word by Word graded readers, please visit our website at: wordbywordseries.com . Book 1: Lee and Pat In this first book, we meet the teacher, Lee, Pat and their very clever dog Kim. This dog is so clever he can even READ what the children write! Book 2: Lee and Pat like to play Lee and Pat like to play, but they also like to learn. However, their VERY clever dog, Kim, may be learning even more than the children! Book 3: Lee and Pat go with Daddy Lee and Pat can go in the car with Daddy. But what about Kim, the dog? What about Pat's cat? Lee is not happy. Lee does not like Pat's cat and he does not want it to go in the car. All the details in the books are revealed in language (words and structure) that has been rigorously selected to be as simple and understandable as possible for young readers. For example, did you know that just 25 most commonly used words make up about one-third of all words written or spoken in English? The first 100 most frequently used words make up about one-half of all written and spoken English. By the end of the 12-book Word by Word series, children will have learned the 1,000 most frequently used words which comprise more than 95% of all written and spoken English.
