Tips for using Wow! City! with Children
Encourage the youngest listeners to find and point to Izzy and her
father on each page. After a few readings, point to the words as well as the objects on
the pages. Children will learn to recognize repeated words, and emphasize ones that are
in big print (Wow!).
Tips for using Wow! City! with Families
Point out the value of public print as a first reading experience. Find
the public print in the book, and solicit ideas about readable public print in their children's
daily lives. Encourage families to engage their children in reading this kind of text.
