Blair's birthday is a special day, and she celebrates it with her mom and her friends in this In Bloom title. Readers will practice the skill of decoding r-controlled vowels throughout the story. In Bloom is built for kids who want an older look and feel to books that help them practice their foundational reading skills. Each book includes sequenced sound/spelling patterns, a repetition of sight words, and comprehensive word lists to support teaching. Vibrant original illustrations bring characters to life and enrich children's earliest reading experiences.
