Start with short A, one word at a time.

Help your beginning reader practice words such as cat, cap, and bat with Look Mommy, I Can Read This Word! Volume 1.

Created by educator Margaret B. Lovick, M.Ed., this hardcover focuses on 25 short "A" words for beginning readers in kindergarten through second grade and ESL learners.

Part of a five-book series for K–2nd grade students and ESL learners. Each volume features 25 words focused on one short vowel sound: A, E, I, O, or U. All five volumes follow the same learning format. Paperback and hardcover editions of each volume contain identical learning content; only the cover format differs.

Look inside the learning

  • 25 focus sight words: Practice recognizing words with the short A sound.
  • Illustrated pages: Connect words with pictures to discuss together.
  • Sentence activities: Practice choosing and writing the focus word in a fill-in-the-blank sentence.
  • Hardcover format: One book, Volume 1 of the five-volume series.

Make it a shared reading moment

Sit together, choose a word, and say it aloud. Talk about the picture, then read the sentence together and help your learner fill in the missing word. Return to familiar words at your child’s pace.

Is this the right starting point?

This volume is designed for learners practicing beginning word recognition and short A words. Use it for supplemental practice at home, in a homeschool routine, or in the classroom. Preview the sample pages to see whether the activities suit your learner’s current skills.

Created by an educator

Margaret B. Lovick, M.Ed., is a certified ELA and ESL educator with more than a decade of international teaching experience. She developed the series to support beginning readers and English-language learners.
