Big Kids (Ella’s World #2)

Big Kids (Ella’s World #2) by Yvette Poshoglian, illustrated by Camilla Frescura (Scholastic) PB RRP $9.99 ISBN 9781761528538

Reviewed by Kylie Buckley

Big Kids is an early reader about ‘big kid’ Ella getting herself ready to return to school. The text is written in simple sentences and is designed to be shared and read aloud between young children and their parents/carers. Children are encouraged to ‘sound out’ the bold word on each page, most of which can be decoded using basic letter-sound relationships and one digraph (ck).

Big Kids is the second book in the Ella’s World early reader series. Each book focuses the bold words on a different set of phonemes. There are currently three books in the series. The first book is Sit Bob, Sit!, and the third book is Munch Lunch.

‘Ella’ is the popular protagonist in many Scholastic book series, including
Meet Ella, Ella & Olivia, The Ella Diaries, and Ella at Eden.
