& Comments:
These high-interest books are wonderful for developing imagination, empathy, fluency, and reading confidence. The mystery style combined with short chapters captivates young readers and builds critical reading skills.
I loved that 95% of the words are from the most commonly used words in the English language, with an emphasis on high-frequency and decodable words. This approach is a great way to build reader confidence at such a crucial time in a child's life. The short chapters are great for children that are ready to be introduced to chapter books.
