Ice + Snow is the third interactive storybook in our Ready to Read series from Gather ’Round Homeschool and focuses on compound words and more structured reading to put it all together. This comic-style book continues building reading confidence by starting to transition to independent, fluent reading and introducing compound words for a reading experience that’s simple, effective, and fun.
Each story includes word you should know and then a simple storyline that is easy to follow. Repetition and support are key, and that’s why each book includes a built-in reading log to encourage rereading throughout the week. As fluency increases, so does confidence and comprehension.
Printed on 8.5” x 11” paper and staple-bound, this 24-page hard copy book is shipped directly to your home. With bright, original illustrations and a comic book layout, Ice + Snow is both engaging and accessible for new readers. Whether you’re using it alongside the full unit or on its own as a reading supplement, this storybook is designed to support and delight your growing reader every step of the way.
