Grade 1-3?Milton presents a good overview of the subject despite the constraints of the easy-reader format. She brings the world of wild gorillas, Dian Fossey, and Koko to life for young readers. Barnard's realistic illustrations follow the text closely, but do not expand upon it. Children interested in wildlife or these animals in particular will enjoy learning some basics about how and where they live, what they eat, and how scientists study them. There is not enough information for reports, but this title works well as a springboard or companion to other nonfiction treatments.?Sharon R. Pearce, San Antonio Public Library, TX

如果您的孩子知道新單詞的意思但是在發(fā)音上有困難，Step 2是他適合的級別。
關(guān)鍵詞—基礎(chǔ)單詞表、短句、簡單的故事情節(jié)
這個級別延續(xù)了Step 1的大字印刷風(fēng)格，圖片與單詞的一一對應(yīng)有利于孩子們對生詞的理解。文中包含基本的詞匯以及短句，故事情節(jié)簡單有趣，很多單詞都是孩子們認(rèn)識的，而另外一些生詞的含義是需要這些小讀者們自己去體會的。鼓勵孩子們利用圖片的提示以及對于故事情節(jié)的理解對生詞的含義有一個概念。
