               Our aim with this series of books is to weave together two significant goals in the design
               of early reading materials—that the books are both instructional and engaging. Books
               designed to develop reading skills often end up feeling like work to read, while books
               designed to be interesting are often too difficult for beginning readers.

               These books for beginning readers support  phonics-based classroom instruction by
               including a high  concentration of phonetically regular words, as well as the most
               commonly used sight words. However, the books are written using pictures and stories
               that make sense and promote both language and conceptual development. The books
               encourage questions, conversations and thoughtful engagement,  aiming towards the
               new common core standards. Our intent is to produce books that kids want to read,
               think about, talk about and read again.
