It is a book about Kate and all the things she can do. the illustrations are nice, but I couldn't find a lesson here.
Thank you Netgalley for this copy.

A fortuitous encounter. My kindergarten writers are currently experiencing the How-to writing genre and I've discovered an opportunity to weave and widen their schema with this simple 8-page text. With simple repetitive sentences such as, Kat makes mud and Kat makes pizza, this book is ideal for kindergarten readers. To go with this reader, I will make the kids their own 8-page blank books, where they can draw a self-portrait and write the title with their own name on the cover. The kids will have the opportunity to fill in their book with things they know how to make and do. They can copy the sentence structure (Jill makes toast), make up their own (feed the cat), and label or illustrate their ideas. After they have filled their book with their personal expertise, they will put their resource into their writing folders. Having established some of their of their own ideas already, will allow them to spend less time thinking of what to write about, and more time writing and drawing instead. With a publishing date of February 15, 2019, I'll be ready to buy multiple copies for guided reading groups. I highly recommend this for K-1 teachers, reading specialists, and special education educators. Those teachers using the Units of Study will find this of seamless value to your writing or reading mini lesson.

While this is a very simple book, it is intended to be easy for a beginner reader. It is perfect for getting started with reading from the easy to sound out and pronounce name "Kat" to the repeating words throughout. That repetition is what helps beginners remember how to read that word. I'd love to see a series of books about Kat where "makes" is replaced with a different word in each book!

It is either really hard, or really easy to get your child interested in reading. The important thing, is when they want to start reading on their own, to give them easy books to read, so they don't get frustrated.

This early reader is very, very easy. It has bright pictures on each page, that show what it is is that Kat is doing.

The sentences all begin with "Kat makes..." and whatever she is doing is what the rest of the sentence is.

She makes pizza, she makes forts, she make paintings. All things the child might be familiar with, so be able to figure out what the word is.

Once the book is done, the children are encouraged to keep making their own sentences.

Three starts for making a book that is easy to read, even if it is a little limited.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
