Today is the little girl's birthday. The little girl closes her eyes, blows out the candles on her cake, and makes a wish. Suddenly, strange things begin to happen, but Mom and Dad can't see them. Will the little girl be able to convince her parents that it's all true? And what will happen at sunset? A series of original stories in 5 levels, specially written for elementary school students. Stories with full-color illustrations, aimed at younger children, introduce the most frequently used words to promote fluency from an early age. Each story is carefully graded, and language is presented through both lexical groups and linguistic functions. The CD-ROM/Audio CD that accompanies each title is compatible with interactive whiteboards and includes a full-length story, nursery rhymes, and games. All text is written in a special open-type font designed to assist children with reading difficulties.
