Description
Helping My Grandfather, Level 6 is an illustrated book that introduces beginning readers to the verb to help. Set in the Arctic out on the land, this reader shows a young boy helping his grandfather with daily chores inside and outside the tent. This 8-page leveled reader is part of Inhabit Education's new series Nunavummi Reading. Level 6 titles have 8 to 12 pages of text with one to two sentences per page. The fun, full-colour comic-like illustrations by Luke Coleman assist the beginning reader with decoding the simple text. Set during the winter in the Arctic, the young boy helps his grandfather outdoors with the Inuit sled, the qamutiik, feed the dogs, shoveling snow, and chipping the ice. When the pair enter the tent they begin by making tea, cooking some food, and cleaning up after the lunch. This book is a welcome addition to the standard leveled reading series world. Inhabit Education has produced an excellent reading series that appeals to southern and northern elementary students and reading teachers. The books in this series are leveled according to the Fountas and Pinnell system. Fountas & Pinnell: F. Grade 1.
