I Have to Go! Early Reader

This early reader adaptation brings Robert Munsch's classic potty training story to children just beginning their independent reading journey. The carefully adapted text maintains the original's humorous urgency while using controlled vocabulary that builds reading confidence through repetition and predictable patterns. Michael Martchenko's vibrant, expressive illustrations provide strong visual cues that support word recognition and comprehension. Young readers will connect immediately with the relatable scenario of needing a bathroom at the most inconvenient moments.

What makes this leveled reader particularly effective are the thoughtful literacy supports included beyond the main story. The phonics introduction, pre-reading activities, and comprehension questions transform simple reading practice into a comprehensive learning experience. Children who are navigating both early reading skills and potty independence will find double the relevance in these pages. The combination of Munsch's signature humor with proper reading scaffolding creates that magical moment when a child truly believes "I read this myself!"
