On My Stoop

On My Stoop is a beginning reader designed for Kindergarten-2nd grade (ages 3-8) that follows Luce as she sits on her stoop taking in what she sees, hears, and smells around her. Through vivid images and clear text, readers explore everyday sensory details - the sound of a flute, the aroma of food, a bird's motion - while encountering vocabulary that emphasizes long U sounds.
