P. J. Funnybunny Camps Out（Step into Reading, Step 2）

Step Into Reading
Step 1 : Preschool ~ Grade 1

　　 第一級的讀本在語言上較初級讀本稍微複雜些；時態以現在式及現在進行式為主；句型結構大都是簡單句(simple sentence)，僅偶而有複合句(compound)出現；故事的發展往往以人物對話為主軸，因此所用的語言很接近口語。這種編寫符合於語言發展早期，應協助孩子明白口語與文字語言間關係的原則。

　　這一級讀本在故事內容上則較初級讀本豐富。其中包括有芝麻街中的人物、可愛的動物、甚至聖經故事﹝如摩西的故事、大衛打敗巨人的故事等﹞。它的主題則包括數字觀念、動物、友情、家庭、幽默、勇氣等。適合已學習英語一段時間，對日常用語、簡單句型已有基礎的孩子閱讀。
