The Positive Power series introduces self esteem and empathy to budding young readers. I Am Strong is a fun and encouraging story about confidence! Now a part of the premier early reading line, Step into Reading!

It's that time of the year again: field day! The sun is out, the hurdles are set up, and classes are canceled. One young boy has a fun-filled day as he learns what it means to be strong. Despite his small size, he surprises his teammates--and himself!--when he demonstrates mental, emotional, and physical strength. Will his team be field day champions?

Through simple text and joyful illustrations, this installment in the Positive Power series inspires kids to help others while giving them the confidence they need to transform from little to BIG readers.
 
Step 2 Readers use basic vocabulary and short sentences to tell simple stories, for children who recognize familiar words and can sound out new words with help. Rhyme and rhythmic text paired with picture clues help children decode the story.
