Small, a Happy Grain of Sand
Small is a grain of sand like the ones we find on all beaches. He has many friends like crabs, shells and snails. And when he gets tired from the beach, he holds on tight to someone’ s foot and sets off to see the world.
Small, a Happy Grain of Sand is the third story from the Learn to Read in UPPERCASE and lowercase letters collection, which is arranged according to reading difficulty, number 1 being the easiest and number 9 the most challenging.
Each page contains the same text twice: above in lowercase letters and below in CAPITAL LETTERS (uppercase). It teaches capital letters and makes the change towards lowercase easier. At the end of the book, you can find a message to think about.
