ListenGabi SnyderA biracial girl steps onto a busy city street and first hears only noise. The text asks readers to pause and notice individual sounds: a dog barking, a horn beeping, a truck moving, a motorcycle, shoes on pavement, a jump rope, and a greeting across a playground. Walking to school with her father and younger sibling, she keeps listening. At school, attention turns to the sounds and effects of words, including words that are short, long, happy, or hurtful, as well as quiet and one’s inner voice.Under FiveLexile Text Measure AD470LATOS Book Level 1.5On the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
