I Want to Be a Teacher

For the child who says, “I want to be a teacher when I grow up!” And for any child who wants a gentle behind-the-scenes look at being a teacher.

I never knew that there are so many different ways to be a teacher. When my family gets a new puppy, I learn that there are teachers who train dogs, teachers who teach swimming, teachers who teach music-and more!

With this story blending narrative with nonfiction elements, readers meet the wide variety of teachers who do so much to support our communities.

This Level One I Can Read is perfect for children learning to sound out words and sentences. Whether shared at home or in a classroom, the short sentences, familiar words, and simple concepts of Level One books support success for children eager to start reading on their own.
