Messy Dogs 

Read about some little dogs that make big messes! Ideal for beginning readers, this book teaches these three high-frequency words: they, are, and in. The simple, repetitive sentences are accompanied by clear images that support the text to aid in memorization. The bright images, rebus pictures, and easy-to-read text make the book appealing to young learners and older emergent readers. Children will learn the essential Fry sight words and gain confidence as readers as they learn to read not just independently, but joyfully as well.
