Anna and the Magic Coat – LAZ Reader [Level K–second grade] app for iPhone and iPad

FIRST GRADE TO SECOND GRADE readers will read about a girl named Anna whose school picnic could be ruined by rain. But Oma tells Anna about Opas magic coat, which can change the weather. Anna dons the enormous coat and commands the sun to shine. In the beautiful weather, everyone has fun at the picnic—everyone except Anna. How can she enjoy a picnic while wearing a coat that makes her too slow to play and too hot to eat? Discussion questions after the reading help build interest and comprehension. Learner objectives: analyze character, figurative language

Learning A–Z provides materials delivered online and through the iTunes Store that help children learn to read, write, and discover the wonders of science. All our materials are leveled so that children can access information at their reading level. Our leveled readers begin at level aa with labeling objects. In level A simple sentences are presented. With each level thereafter the sentences get more complex and the words become a little more difficult.

A QUICK GUIDE IN PLACING YOUR CHILD at the appropriate reading level is to understand that level aa to C provides average kindergarten instruction; D to J—first grade; K to Q—second grade; R to U—third grade; V to Z—fourth and fifth grade. The letters earliest in the alphabet match beginning of the year instruction while letters at the end of each grade range match skills at the end of that grade year.

THIS BOOK IS AVAILABLE AS PART OF A TEN-BOOK SET IN THE LEVEL K LIBRARY.
