My Visit to the Zoo

Taken from a new series which shows the various types of visit that children are likely to make, whether for pleasure or a specific purpose, this book deals with a visit to the zoo. There are two levels of text in each book. The first is designed for children who are just starting to read, and the second for more advanced readers or for teachers to read aloud. This book describes Donna's visit to the zoo with her mother and younger brother Jonathan, it deals with what they see and the new things that they learn. Everything is described from Donna's point of view. The reading consultant for this text, Diana Bentley, has also published a number of books for teachers, including, "The How and Why of Readability", and "The How and Why of Cloze Procedure".
