Giraffe is part of the Let's Read collection of media enhanced books designed for children ages 5-7. These books were created to inspire beginning readers to become independent readers. Educator and reading expert Dr. Edward Fry created a list of 1000 instant sight words. These 1000 sight words must be learned by students in elementary grades. By the third grade students are expected to instantly recognize the first 300 of these words. The Let's Read books combine these 300 sight words with vivid colour photography and nonfiction content within a kindergarten to second grade curriculum framework.
Each AV2 media enhanced book is a unique combination of a printed book and exciting online content that brings the book to life. Readers can access embedded weblinks audio and video clips activities and other features such as a slide show matching word activity and quiz.
