In Emu Chicks, emergent readers learn what baby emu birds look like and how they live and grow up in the Outback. Carefully crafted text, high-frequency words, repetitive sentence patterns, and strong visual references support emergent readers. Emu Chicks includes tools for caregivers as well as introductory nonfiction features such as labels, a table of contents, words to know, an index, and a Let's Review image and question. Emu Chicks is part of Jump!'s Outback Babies series.
