Notes to parents and teachers
Migdal Ohr’s books are written in a simple way for children who are learning to read from ages 4 to 8.
Level 2 is ideal for children who have received some reading instruction and can read short, simple sentences with help.
Help your child with any words he does not know, either by helping him to sound them out or supplying them yourself.
Developing readers can be concentrating so hard on the words that they sometimes don’t fully grasp the meaning of what they’re reading.

About Migdal Ohr
Providing a warm and accepting home for children in Israel
Migdal Ohr is a network of schools that has been providing an educational framework for thousands of at-risk children, from infancy until adulthood, for over 40 years.
Migdal Ohr institutions teach, every day, thousands of children from across the spectrum of Israel’s population in dozens of day-care centres, kindergartens, grade schools, junior high and high schools, religious seminaries for girls and for boys and vocational and academic schools.
The children of Migdal Ohr benefit from individual attention and education for values which provides them a firm foundation for a new life of creativity and contribution to society and the state.

David began to feel alone without his parents. He knew he wouldn’t grow up like everyone else, this made David feel sad. He wanted somewhere he can belong, with love and warmth.
