Peter's Dream: Read-along

Every child loves story time! Books from the Start to Read! series, in read-along format, narrate and present amusing stories with memorable messages that help children learn to read.

In Peter’s Dream a common childhood fantasy comes to life. “Peter has a new boat. Now he can sail the seas. He can sail to far-off lands where he has no one to please.” His adventure takes him to a land where children make all the rules. In order to read successfully, children need to master a basic vocabulary of sight words and learn to sound out words. This read-along storybook app makes it extra fun. Most of the vocabulary words in Peter’s Dream are typically introduced in first grade and second grade. The words pirates, treasures, ocean, scare, strange, world, share, and dirty are higher-level words.

This Level 2 series selection is a super solution to the “Read me a story!” refrain. Easy-to-use settings allow children to control their app experience. If they turn on “Read to Me” mode, they can follow along with the narrator as each word onscreen is highlighted. With it off, they can try reading the story on their own. In both modes, if they get stuck, they can touch any word, any time and hear its pronunciation. Kids can also choose auto-page turning and background music on or off.
