Helbling Thinking Train Level E: Ruby Runs the Race Big Book

Published 2017.

Welcome to The Thinking Train, a unique series of picture books which focus on the development of children's thinking skills using stories.

When children are involved in thinking and in talking about their thinking with others, they reach higher levels of achievement in the future as well as developing superior thinking skills.

The Thinking Train stories will encourage a love of reading and promote thoughtful interaction with books while developing children's thinking skills. The activities, in carefully graded English, will automatically develop and practise their language skills too.

Ruby hates PE. Her teacher always tells her to run faster and try harder. But Ruby can't. The other girls are not happy when Ruby is in their team. They want to win, and winning is impossible with Ruby in the team. Then, one day there is a cross-country race, and Ruby shows that she is a winner, too.
