Why read No Nap with your child
This is a first decodable, so let your child hunt for the n sound on every page. Words like nap, net, nut, and nod repeat again and again, which helps a new reader feel sure of the story. Every parent of a nap-fighter will smile at this one, and children love saying no along with the hero. Short enough to read twice in one sitting.
Talk about it together
- What does the child want to do instead of napping?
- Which n words can you find on this page?
- Do you ever feel like saying no to a nap?
Inside the book
A child does not want a nap. There is a net to play with, a nut to nip on, and a cat to nag, and the word no gets plenty of use. Then, at last, the day starts to wind down.
Children practice the letter n and the n sound in one-syllable words, with CV, CVC, and VC patterns and pre-kindergarten and kindergarten sight words. The words are short, the pattern is clear, and the story is fun to read aloud together.
