Pushes and Pulls

Pushes and pulls are forces that make things move. Kids can push a toy car or shopping cart, while dogs can pull a sled through the snow. Beginning readers hone their phonics skills while exploring different examples of pushes and pulls in this introduction to forces and motion. As readers practice decoding words with sh digraphs, they gain science knowledge. Every Stairway Decodables nonfiction book combines multiple aspects of the Science of Reading to support small group instruction, independent reading, and reading practice at home.
