Snacks at the Park uses a phonics curriculum based approach to get children comfortable with reading and start them thinking about healthy choices. This decodable book uses a combination of sight words and short-vowel words in repetition to build recognition and confidence. Bold, colorful photographs help guide readers through the text.

Text and format is created by Cecilia Minden, PhD, a literacy consultant and former director of the Language and Literacy program at Harvard Graduate School of Education. Includes phonics and teachers’ guide.
