In Share the Story books, children learn to read one word at a time, and excitement about reading builds as they grow their reading vocabulary. Soon they are recognizing the words they have learned when they see them in other places, adding to their joy and curiosity about reading. Share the Story books keep reading simple and fun, and give a great opportunity for sharing time together. In this Share the Story edition, children will learn to read and recognize the following words: Ant, as, at, an, am, art, and, all, are, ants, awe, Aunt Ant works all day at the ant hill with the other ants. At the end of the day, Ant likes to take some time for himself and do things he enjoys. Ant loves to read and spends a lot of time at the library, but when he sees a painting of an ostrich at the side of the lake as the sun is setting, Ant is inspired to become an artist. Ant buys art supplies and begins to paint many beautiful pictures. The other ants are in awe and they invite him to hold an art gallery. Ant invites his Aunt and she too is impressed with his new art skills.

Share the Story is a teaching strategy for helping children learn to read. Words are in gray (for parents) and black (for children) to create an interactive reading experience for parent and child. On each page, one word is added in black for your child to read. By starting with one word on the page for child to read, and increasing this by one word at a time, children will be neither overwhelmed nor bored with learning to focus on letters and words.
