Darcy Darten Finds a Can

By Charles Martindell

"Darcy's excitement and imagination run wild when she discovers a discarded can. She just knows this may be the most important discovery of her life! She and her friend are determined to find the perfect way to enjoy it. But time is of the essence, and if she doesn't make a decision before school starts then she may miss this incredible opportunity for good!" DARCY DARTEN FINDS A CAN is a book meant to be read by a child--not an adult. Its reliance on sight-words taught in kindergarten make it a great book to help review vocab words near the end of the school year and to chase away the "summer slide." Without regular reading practice, summer is a time when many children regress in their reading ability. DARCY DARTEN FINDS A CAN reviews common sight-words from kindergarten and introduces a some new words from first grade to give summertime readers a chance to grow. The pictures, repetition and rhyming scheme help provide context for unfamiliar words, giving young readers a fighting chance to figure them out on their own. Many of the more difficult words get repeated in the story to build familiarity and encourage readers to look back to previous lines for guidance on the current word. This story also reinforces the importance of being proactive--a trait that many elementary schools are working to develop in their young learners. Taking initiative is the only thing that can get Darcy out of her jam! This book uses Kindle MatchBook, so you can get the eBook version for free when you buy the paperback!
