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.
