I Like Riding is a fiction story about a man and a mouse who both like riding, flying, and sailing. Readers gain information from the text, illustrations, storyboard, and speech bubbles.

I Like Riding uses the sentence stem “I like…” Illustrations match the text. The story includes triggering in questions. There are critical thinking questions to guide the reader. A teacher guide for reading the text and visual information is provided for teachers to draw students’ attention to illustrations, starting points, and speech bubbles. There is a high frequency word list within an illustration at the end of the story. An activity on drawing a picture with a caption of themselves doing something they like is provided for teachers to extend students’ learning.

Readers develop vocabulary with high-frequency words (like). Focus on word differentiation by having them locate focus words in the high-frequency word list illustration. Opportunities arise to focus on initial consonant r (riding).
