InitiaLit Reader 13.9 The Smallest Boat of All (Shared)

Quickstone is a small boat with a big dream. Cheer him along as he races to the finish line. This Level 13 reader in the InitiaLit Readers sequence focuses on the split digraphs: a_e, e_e, i_e, o_e, u_e. (Author: Anna Notley, Illustrator: Anna Falconer) The Smallest Boat of All is a Shared Reader, allowing an adult to help consolidate all skills targeted in this level by reading together with a child (alternating pages). The InitiaLit Readers Levels 10-16 are carefully scaffolded for children in their second year of school to practise their developing reading skills, following the InitiaLit–1 phonic sequence, and should be purchased by schools using the InitiaLit–1 program. Full sets of Readers (Levels 10-16), bundle sets for each level (10-16) or individual titles can be also be purchased by parents wishing to support their child’s reading, or by any school wishing to provide decodable readers to support an evidence-based synthetic phonics approach to teaching reading. Each title includes instructions and pre- and post-reading activities to help teachers and parents use the books effectively.
