Football

From the Series I Love Sports

Let’s play football! Through large, full-color action photographs and simple text, Football introduces beginning readers to the basic rules of the game and encourages them to try playing.

A labeled diagram helps readers identify the different areas on a football field, and a picture glossary reinforces new vocabulary. Football also features reading tips for teachers and parents, a table of contents, and an index.

Reviews

Series Made Simple

These titles offer emergent readers brief overviews of different sports and encourage them to participate (“Do you want to try? Dive in. Swimming is fun!”). Colorful photos depict boys and girls enjoying themselves at the pool, ice rink, and ball parks; Football opens with a girl suited up in shoulder pads, ready to play. The books make use of simple sentences, supplemented by photographs and diagrams, while picture glossaries and indexes are used effectively. For example, the colorful diagram in Basketball delineates the three-point line, free-throw line, and other key parts of the court. Each helpful picture glossary defines six words or phrases, such as cleats, dribble, and goalie. VERDICT These concise introductions effectively convey the appeal of each sport.
