Dear Readers,

First, I have written these books for your children to enjoy by reliving the conversations, friendships, and moral lessons experienced in the classrooms and retold through the adventures of the characters. Then, friendship becomes a collection of heart felt stories children have making friends beginning at the Pre-K grade level. I hope I have thoroughly explained through my characters and play that you can never lose a friend! Their memories are always with you. Lastly, the sounds covered in all my books are based on reading programs taught in U. S. classrooms and based on state standards. For example, the Wilson Reading Program is just one system that may use similar word attack or diagraph grouping strategies taught by U. S. schools that use this program; In this book, I covered the "br" sound segmenting this sound as it is done in the classrooms. I have also segmented multi-syllable words so that your child learns the "gist" of sounding out the word and always loves to read. This is just a template I created for you to use.

Love,

Irene
