Beef Stew — Step 2 Reader

Beef Stew is a Step 2 reader about Nicky and the question, “Who will come to dinner?” Nicky’s mom is making so much stew that he is allowed to bring a friend home for supper. Alec can’t come, and Carla won’t come because she hates beef stew, so Nicky begins a funny, frantic quest for someone to share his favorite dish. Step 2 Readers use basic vocabulary and short sentences to tell simple stories and are perfect for children who recognize familiar words and can sound out new words with help.
