“
From the Field:
“Kids will connect to the storylines in these fun little books featuring diverse and relatable characters. Adults will love the ‘Cheat Sheets’ with information about decodability, HFWs, and conversation ideas all in one place.”
“I really love these as an option for early readers…a collection of texts that allow for diverse representation which is sorely needed in books for beginning readers. The scope and sequence-aligned texts will be so supportive. I also love that the books make sense and sound like natural language while also supporting readers to apply their phonics knowledge to connected text reading.”
