Grandparents Day! (Step-Into-Reading, Lvl 1)

Ages 4 to 6, Grades P to 1

Celebrate grandparents with this Step 1 reader featuring the kids from Pumpkin Day!, Apple Picking Day!, Garden Day!, and Snow Day! and their family.

What could be more fun than spending a whole day with Grandma and Grandpa? Brother and sister get to visit a museum, do crafts, feast on homemade brownies and watch old home movies with their very special grandparents! It’s a memorable day full of laughter, good food, and love. Easy-to-follow rhyme ensures a successful reading experience, while bright, lively art brings this intergenerational story to life.

Step 1 Readers feature big type and easy words. Rhymes and rhythmic text paired with picture clues help children decode the story. For children who know the alphabet and are eager to begin reading.

Series Overview: There are currently five books in the DAY Step into Reading series. We plan to continue to chronicle the lives of a young black sister and brother and their parents with new titles focusing on first experiences.
