ReviewedWhat I See In Winter introduces emergent readers to the clothing, activities, and sights of winter while providing them with a supportive first nonfiction reading experience. Carefully crafted text uses high-frequency words, repetitive sentence patterns, and strong visual references to support emergent readers, making sure they aren’t facing too many challenges at once.
What I See In Winter includes Tools for Teachers and Caregivers and a Let’s Review! question and image, as well as introductory nonfiction features such as labels, a table of contents, words to know, and an index.
What I See In Winter is part of Jump!’s Seasons series.
Readers will enjoy recognizing their favorite seasonal activities in this series. Perfect for both one-on-one and group reading, these titles support dialogic reading and early literacy skills. Educators and caretakers can ask, “What do you see?” Each page features colorful images and three to five words. The sentences are short. Unfamiliar words are in boldface and identified with pictures. A visual glossary is included. Photos feature children who are BIPOC participating in fun activities, such as sledding, playing in the leaves, and splashing in rain puddles. VERDICT Early childhood education settings and second-language acquisition support classrooms will want to invest in this essential, well-translated series.
