From the publisher

Two brothers and a dog have fun at the beach! This Level C book is perfect for kindergarteners and rising first graders. Look. I dig. I see a crab. I see stars. When two brothers at the beach find a shovel, they use it to discover all sorts of fun in the sun. Very simple text and fun pictures support comprehension in this delightful book, ideal for new readers just starting out. Easy to read and brightly illustrated, this is a perfect book to read on their own! I Dig is a companion to Joe Cepeda’s other I Like to Read books, Up (a Guided Reading Level B book) and I See (Guided Reading Level B), featuring the same curious, excited brothers exploring the world around them and celebrating the diversity of everyday life. For readers who’ve mastered basic sight words, Level C books feature slightly longer sentences and a wider range of high frequency words than Level B books. Level C book are suitable for mid-to-late kindergarten readers. When Level C is mastered, follow up with Level D. The award-winning I Like to Read (c) series focuses on guided reading levels A through G, based upon Fountas and Pinnell standards. Acclaimed author-illustrators–including winners of Caldecott, Theodor Seuss Geisel, and Coretta Scott King honors–create original, high quality illustrations that support comprehension of simple text and are fun for kids to read with parents, teachers, or on their own!
