Wrestling

If you have one of those early readers who only like sports, but needs to practice their reading skills, this book series – SPORTS FUN! – might just be what will getting them reading. Wrestling has nine pages with large text font opposite nine pages of action color photos of the sport. Photos are of both girls and boys wrestling. The book averages ten words per page of text, many from a list of sight words and other words more specific to wrestling. Between the photos and the text a rudimentary joy of wrestling will be experienced by the young reader, especially if the reader already knows something about wrestling. The specifics of wrestling is not truly covered.

The book contains a Table of Contents, a Glossary with 4 photos accompanying 4 definitions, and Index, and a safe web site- FACTSURFER for further information (all at a much higher reading level, many with videos).
