Why Sight Words Matter in Early Reading

Sight words like he, the, has, and finds are woven throughout the story, making Bunny’s journey a wonderful springboard for reading fluency. According to Ehri (2005), repeated exposure to high-frequency words in meaningful context is one of the most effective ways children learn to read.

With each hop, Bunny offers an opportunity to recognize and remember sight words. This repetition—paired with expressive illustrations—helps kids build confidence while they enjoy a rhythmic, rhyming narrative.

A Count-Along from 1 to 10

From one Easter basket to ten colorful eggs hidden around the meadow, young readers are gently guided through number recognition and sequencing. Each number is showcased clearly, supported by visual cues and simple sentence structure.

As Baroody (2004) notes, embedding numbers within engaging stories helps develop a child’s number sense and mathematical confidence. Counting becomes more than rote memorization—it becomes meaningful and fun!
