Let's celebrate the word "the"! This is often one of the first heart words--or high-frequency words--that new readers are introduced to and get to know by heart. It's used in so many ways they will encounter in their reading journey. In this volume, readers follow a red hat through a decodable narrative. Every time the word "the" is used in the text, it's called out to help readers notice and memorize it. Full-color photographs complement the text.
