Butterfly

Charming student illustrations depict the life cycle of the Ethiopian Painted Lady butterfly as it begins as a tiny egg. As the egg hatches and becomes a caterpillar and then emerges from its cocoon with wet wings drying under the sun, emerging readers will grow their vocabulary and fluency with side by side text in Italian and English. Repeating phrases help reinforce key words and encourage literacy. Just as days and days of sun will help the egg transform into a beautiful butterfly, days and days of reading will transform your student into a confident reader.
