Reading can be fun. But first, you have to learn the basic sight words. In Dawn Renee Young’s Little Cub’s Big List, Little Cub is on a mission to learn and memorize his long list of sight words. Sight words are hard to remember, but Little Cub is determined and he works hard every day until finally he’s mastered his long list: “Sight words sight words, one, two, three./ I can read them, look at me!/ I, a, am, an, as, and, at,/ add t-h, and that makes that.” There’s nothing like a good, catchy rhyme to help the mind remember. As Little Cub learns more sight words, his confidence in reading improves, and, guess what, he’s looking forward to enjoying the real reason for reading: to read a book. No, to read lots of books!
Dawn Renee Young’s picture book, Little Cub’s Big List: Fun With Sight Words, is an encouraging story for young readers struggling to learn their sight words and to strengthen their reading skills. The plot is simple, following Little Cub’s mission to learn his long list of sight words. He works with his mother, his father, his sister, and his brother, and finally, he’s confident in his growing reading skills. The language is simple with lots of repetition like the little ditty about sight words that will have young readers chuckling and reciting along with their reading buddies. The illustrations are sweet and full of sight words to help young readers improve their own reading list of sight words. At the end of the book, there’s a list of sight words covered in the story, including their grade levels. The author also provides some tips for teachers, guardians, and, of course, young readers to help them on their journey to find joy in reading.
