This is volume four, Reading Level 1, in a comprehensive program (Reading Levels 1 and 2) for beginning readers.Two nine-book sets teach reading to children from preschool to grades K and 1, emphasizing phonics while also presenting a lively and engaging collection of facts and stories to make kids’ reading experiences enjoyable. Each title emphasizes one phonics family, the first five books in each set focusing on one vowel sound, and the remaining four books combining some vowel sounds or reviewing them all. Short vowel families are covered in Level 1 readers and long vowel families in Level 2 books. Fiction titles feature attractive illustrations and have story themes ranging from funny to serious. Each fiction title also suggests a brief activity that allows kids to interact with the book’s subject matter. Nonfiction titles are photo illustrated, and include “Fun Facts” to enrich children’s reading experiences. The nonfiction books contain the basic elements of a nonfiction book, including glossary and index. They also suggest web sites appropriate to kids’ interests where more information about each book’s subject is offered. Both fiction and nonfiction titles contain word lists that group each book’s words into “decodable” words—those containing the book’s main vowel sound, which the book is either teaching or reviewing. Word lists also include high-frequency words and challenging words included in the main text. All books present a letter to parents and teachers explaining the fundamental concepts underlying both the series and the specific title. Level 1 readers are designed for classroom or home schooling use in preschool and kindergarten, and Level 2 readers for kindergarten and grade 1. “Too, Too Hot” is a story that covers the “short o” sound.

Literature & Fiction

Here is a novelized version of the new hit comedy film released by Fox Studios in December '06. It's an expanded version of Milan Trenc's picture storybook for children, The Night at the Museum, which was first published by B.E.S. several seasons ago. On his very first night at work, the night guard at New York's Museum of Natural History begins to see the museum's exhibits come to life. He tells his son about the many strange things he sees each night. At first reluctant to believe his father's fanciful tales, the son begins to see Dad in a new light when he, too, spends a night at the museum. He discovers that his father's amazing world is real. The film's unusual and entertaining story, starring Ben Stiller, Robin Williams, Mickey Rooney, and Dick Van Dyke, is faithfully recreated in this funny and fanciful novelization for young readers.

Action & Adventure

Things at the museum just got weirder… In the blockbuster film Night At the Museum night watchmen Larry Daley learned that every night an ancient Egyptian tablet brought the museum exhibits to life--from a mischievous monkey, to a full-sized T-Rex skeleton, to twenty-sixth President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt. In Night At The Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian Larry's adventure continued at the Smithsonian Institute. Picking up where the movies left off, Night of the Dragons is a brand-new novel for middle grade readers, following the adventures of Larry Daley's teenage son Nick as he learns the ropes at the strangest museum in the world. In this story, a new exhibit brings new dangers and unleashes an evil force on the Museum of Natural History. Soon, Nick is up to his ears in trouble. With his father sidelined by a strange new magic, the boy must face giant dragons and an evil sorcerer determined to take over the museum…and then the world!
