Fancy Nancy: Splendid Speller

Description

Young readers will relate to Nancy's test-taking dilemma in this Fancy Nancy I Can Read story from the New York Times bestselling team Jane O'Connor and Robin Preiss Glasser. Nancy loves spelling. She can spell fun words like "happy" and French words like chien (that means "dog") and even long words like "splendid." But when Ms. Glass's spelling test is harder than Nancy anticipated, the self-professed spelling prodigy faces a tough decision that pits her pride against her principles. Fancy Nancy: Splendid Speller is a Level One I Can Read book, which means it's perfect for children learning to sound out words and sentences. The back matter features a list of the rich vocabulary words that are used throughout the story along with their definition. Whether shared at home or in a classroom, the short sentences, familiar words, and simple concepts of Level One books support success for children eager to start reading on their own.
