Level 1-Story 12, Billy’s Bix and Westin’s Rex is a delightful story about two best friends, Billy and Westin and their dogs.

The story is written around the phonetic elements of all previous stories in Level 1. The narration provides further reading skills by listening to the words and sentences allowing the learner to not only see the word, but to hear it pronounced.

The MAIN IDEA, “People Enjoy Doing Good Things For Children,” shows the kindness of people in wanting to bring joy into other’s lives, especially children.

Billy had a dog and Westin did not.

Westin wanted a dog so badly that he tried to keep Billy’s dog when his dog came to him, but we all know that you can’t keep another person’s dog.

So, Billy and Westin and their mothers go to see Mr. Bradley who owns a dog kennel to find a special dog for Westin.
