This product is for an emergent reader excellent for pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students. The book is available in both color and black and white. The illustrations all contain pictures that start with the "j" sound. The book is half a page with the same words and pictures on the top as the bottom. On the top half of each book, I have added small circles or dots to help students track and practice one-to-one matching.
Not only are emergent readers an important part of the Common Core Sta

Teaching style
I consider myself a laid back teacher who likes to combine learning with having fun. I try very much to establish caring relationships with my students. When they know I care about them, they feel more invested in their learning. I try to ground my teaching in research and what makes the most sense for students. I am one of those fortunate few that love what I do!
