In these books, the text is on the right-hand side of the book, and the picture that matches that text is on the next page (instead of the text and picture being side by side). This is so the readers read the text alone, without the aid of a picture that may give them a clue as to what a word may be. After they read the text, they turn the page to confirm meaning of what they read and build engagement and enjoyment!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach story has comprehension questions, including one that helps the reader connect the story to their own life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the phonics skills listed below, the book contains descriptions of what they mean (for example, a \"digraph\" is two letters that when put together make a whole new sound.
