I Spot Shapes!

Set of 6 titles

Understanding basic shapes like squares, circles, or stars is an important part of early learning. But for some readers, it's hard to connect those shapes to the real world. Through this set, readers will take shapes they may already know and learn where they could be hiding in their daily lives. At the end of each book, readers will put their knowledge to the test with a simple challenge. Each book uses simple, achievable sentences to help encourage early readers to read on their own.

SLJ Reivew of I Spot Shapes!

11/01/2024

PreS-Gr 1—Shapes are everywhere! Encouraging emerging readers to spot shapes in the world around them, this series features vibrant photos and simple sentence structures, supported by repetition and context clues. Kids jump through a hoop and a delicious doughnut delight on the pages of I Spot Circles. I Spot Diamonds uses a road sign and a fence, items readers might see every day, to illustrate the concept. Each book ends in a look and find, where readers are encouraged to identify the named shape on the facing page filled with objects. The detailed pictures, like the watermelon and kiwi in I Spot Ovals, try to support readers through the less common words. Still, when these photos are not immediately identifiable, like the chocolate in I Spot Squares, it could be tricky for readers to decode as there is no context other than the photo and the shape. VERDICT Useful as tools for classroom libraries, these concept books are limited in their appeal.
