I Wanted to Be a Tumbler

With the idea of accompanying boys and girls from 3 to 6 years old as they take their first steps in reading, the stories in the “Horse” collection help them gradually discover the mechanisms of reading so that they can follow the stories using their intuition and previous knowledge. “Trottin”g level is aimed at first readers who only know some letters and are starting to discover the mechanisms of reading. They read rather by intuition, but if an adult reads the stories to them first, they will be able to read by themselves later.
