Penelope Dyan
Put together by award winning author and former teacher and attorney, Penelope Dyan, this workbook is a perfect way to reinforce basic reading skills while encouraging creativity and fun. It is meant to be used with Penelope Dyan’s ’Mikey & Me books,’ but it can stand alone as a fun workbook all by itself. All you have to do is use your very own imagination and complete the book in style, because that is what this is. It is a workbook that becomes a real book when you are finished. This workbook is made especially for kids who are learning to read or practicing their reading! It has extra big letters so you kids can see all the words very easily and it is especially good those who may have trouble seeing. The fun thing about this special workbook is that YOU GET TO MAKE A BOOK! This is how you do it. You read the words on one page (most from the Dolch reading word lists) and then you draw a picture on the page right next to the page where you read the words. When you are all finished, you have your very own special book, and there will be no other book in the whole wide world like it; because it will contain your very own work, your very own artwork! Always remember that YOU are an original, and since YOU are one of a kind, this book will also be one of a kind when YOU are finished! There are also NO wrong ways to do this book. Whatever you draw, you earn an A+! So have fun and learn a thing or two, or three! If you make a mistake, make a big one! It doesn’t matter! You are learning! And oh yes, there is a small bit of math thrown into the mix as well. See if you can find it!
