It frames reading as a child-focused experience (“a book for me to read”) and explains how to help children start without relying on an adult reader. The narrative follows a grasshopper that sings a steady song while hopping through different places and animals, meeting responses that range from admiration to requests for silence.",{"@graph":14,"@context":72},[15,34,55],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/","Literature",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-singing-grasshopper-read-along-story/569476/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/the-singing-grasshopper-read-along-story/569476.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Logic","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-22","2026-10-13",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":22},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",{"@type":56,"mainEntity":57},"FAQPage",[58,64,68],{"name":59,"@type":60,"acceptedAnswer":61},"What is the main purpose of the book for grown-ups?","Question",{"text":62,"@type":63},"It aims to help children learn to read on their own.

SingingGrasshopper  \na book for me to read  \nBY RUTH AINSWORTH AND RONALD RIDOUT  \nFOR GROWN UPS  \nThe main aim of this book is to help children to readthemselves.We don't want to stop you from readingit to your child if that is what is needed,but we shouldlike to remind you that it is “a book for me to read”,and the \"me\"is of course the child.  \nThere are hundreds of books suitable for reading tochildren.But what happens when you put one of thesebooks in the hands of the child himself?As likely asnot he is just baffled.It was all right so long as youwere reading to him,but it is no good at all if he isexpected to do the reading himself.  \nBooks For Me To Read will help you to cope withthis very real problem of persuading your child tomake a start.This exciting new series of books hasbeen specially designed to enable young children toread on their own from the earliest stages.Starting atthe very beginning of reading with Book One,eachseries takes the child steadily forward till he can readalmost anything.  \nThis Yellow Series runs exactly parallel with theRed,Blue and Green Series.To get the best results,each child should read Book One of all four seriesbefore going on to Book Two.Then he should readBook Two of the four series before going on to BookThree.And so on.  \nRunascn  \nau Rlawt  \n13p■  \nThere was once a grasshopper in a field  \nHe sang a song to himself:  \n\"I'm a grasshopper green  \nand I'm singing a song.  \nIt isn't too short  \nand it isn't too long.\"  \nThen the grasshopper took a jumpand landed on a bush.  \nThere was a bird on the bush.The grasshopper sang to the bird:\"I'm a grasshopper greenand I'm singing a song.It isn't too shortand it isn't too long.\"  \n335  \nBut the bird said:  \n\"I can sing a much better song myself.\"And away he flew.  \nThe grasshopper took another jumpand landed on a tree.  \nThere was a squirrel in the tree.  \nThe grasshopper sang to the squirrel:\"I'm a grasshopper greenand I'm singing a song.It isn't too shortand it isn't too long.\"  \nBut the squirrel said:  \n\"Please be quiet.You will wake up my babies.\"And away she climbed.  \nThe grasshopper took another jumpand landed in a garden.  \nThere was a tortoise in the garden.  \nThe grasshopper sang to the tortoise:  \n\"I'm a grasshopper green  \nand I'm singing a song  \nIt isn't too short  \nand it isn't too long.\"  \nBut the tortoise said:\"Please don't sing.  \nI am just going to have a sleep.”And away he went to have a sleep.  \n米  \nThe grasshopper took another jumpand landed on a deck chair.
