Every child learns to read at his or her own pace, and the "Scholastic Reader" books are designed so that children can utilize their individual reading skills. This classic story of the pauper girl turned princess is told in simple words and sentences so that a "Level 2" child will be able to read and comprehend the book. A "Level 2" child can sound out words, so the story has longer sentences and "big" words that the child will want to understand. The pictures beautifully illustrate the classic story, so that a child can guess about the content while still reading the book. The back of the book has a "fluency" test so that children can learn to quickly sound out and recognize larger words. This series of books is designed for a classroom, so that children with all types of interests will find something they want to read. Children will be empowered with the ability to read a book all by themselves. 2004, Cartwheel Books/Scholastic Inc, Ages 5 to 7.
