About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is on the cusp of independent reading and needs a massive boost of 'I can do it' confidence. While many early readers feel like homework, this title uses the high energy world of the Chipettes to turn phonics into a celebration. It is designed specifically for children who are beginning to recognize sight words and want to prove their growing autonomy by reading a 'real book' without a grown-up's help. At its heart, the story focuses on the joy of movement and the pride that comes with mastering a new skill, whether that is a dance routine or the word 'jump.' Because it is based on the movie Chipwrecked, the familiar characters provide a bridge between screen time and page time, making it an excellent choice for reluctant readers who respond well to media tie-ins. It is short, rhythmic, and perfectly paced for a four to six-year-old's attention span.
