Here's a vocabulary builder and at the same time an impetus to increased reading proficiency. While the type blocks seem to present more solid reading matter, the marginal sketches illustrating words used in the text should speed along the reading process. All sorts of familiar subjects are included:-houses, families, clothes, food, toys, games, stores, pets, school, park, city, farm, tools, machines, circus, birds, plants, animals, weather, travel, and in a few instances, particular concepts, such as What we want to be -- or Friends around the world.
