Too Many Cats- Lexile: br"Too Many Cats" by Lori Haskins Houran is a fun story about the different kinds of cats. There are stinky cats, and slinky cats, and even a silly cat.The book is a part of the Step Into Reading series and is a Level One book. Books in this series are divided into 5 levels and an explanation and guide to each of the levels can be found on the back cover of the book.Level One books are geared for children in Preschool through Kindergarten, who are "ready to read". These readers are written using a whole language approach to reading versus a phonics approach.In an article from Reading Horizons, the whole language approach "is a method of teaching children to read by recognizing words as whole pieces of language. Proponents of the whole language philosophy believe that language should not be broken down into letters and combinations of letters and “decoded.” Instead, they believe that language is a complete system of making meaning, with words functioning in relation to each other in context."It is because Step Into Reading books use this approach that I purchased the book Too Many Cats for my 3-year-old grandson, Owen.I am fortunate to see my grandson several times a week and we have settled into a comfortable daily routine. Our routine includes a "literacy time" and during this time I focus on activities that encourage Owen to strengthen and develop the toolset used in learning to read.Owen can identify all of his letters and he knows each of the letter sounds. If a letter has more than one sound, for example letter "g", he knows both letter sounds.
