About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is on the cusp of reading but needs a quick, high-confidence win to prove to themselves that they can do it. This ultra-simple story follows a small worm as he uses blocks to build various structures, celebrating the joy of personal creation and the literal building blocks of literacy. The book centers on themes of pride, spatial awareness, and self-confidence. At only eight pages with minimal text, it is designed specifically for children ages 4 to 6 who are just beginning to recognize sight words and letter sounds. It is an ideal tool for parents looking to reduce the 'intimidation factor' of reading by providing a narrative that can be mastered in a single sitting.
