PARAMOUNT HAPPY READERS: FAMILY PHOTOS L-5 BOOK 2

A Guided Reading Book for a Rainy Day

Looking for rainy day activities for kids? Family Photos is Level 5, Book 2 in the Paramount Happy Readers series—a guided reading book for ages 3 to 7 that follows a family looking through old photos of London, a palace, and baby pictures on a rainy afternoon.

Skill-Building Through Story

The book teaches the 'ed' ending for past tense, exclamation marks for emphasis, and irregular verb forms like 'was'/'were' and 'had.' Predictive, literal, inferential, and reflective questions guide reading before, during, and after the story—including spotting past-tense words.

Support for Teachers and Parents

Built-in Teacher's Notes include vocabulary activities like I Spy and Pin the Word, plus decoding tips such as reading on for meaning, knowledge of language structure, and contextual knowledge — everything needed to put guided reading into practice at school or at home.
