Your child will be proud to have read a whole book!

In addition, the collection includes recommendations for parents and tips on organizing reading time.

The collection includes the following stories: "Is This a Dream?", "Who Are You?", "The Elephant and the Storm", "At Least I Did It Myself!", "Here I Am", "A Home for Foxes", "Numbers and Letters", "One, Two, Three - Freeze!", "Little Ones", "View from the Mountain", "Sock the Cat and the Sea", "Sock the Cat and the Trampoline", "Sock the Cat and Shoe the Dog", "Sock the Cat and White Day", "Sock the Cat and the Strong Wind".

- In the first story, the longest words consist of four letters. The difficulty of the stories in the book gradually increases. In the final stories, the sentences become longer, and some words may have more than ten letters.

- Stories with simple words in which the letters easily form syllables.
- Large letters so that the child does not strain their eyes.
- Stories with amusing plots and color pictures.
- At the end of each story, the child marks that they have read it.

How to read the book:

- Before reading, review the alphabet with your child.
- Do not rush your child or tell them how to read unless they ask for help. They should be interested in finding out how the story ends on their own.
- After the first story, move on to the next one in terms of difficulty.
- After reading the book, talk about the plot, look at the illustrations together, and discuss them.
- Read one story at a time, not all at once. This helps maintain interest in reading and prevents your child from becoming overtired.
- Praise your child even for small achievements, and tell family and friends about their progress.

For older preschoolers.
