Several books in this series can be found in the Top 25 Homeschool Sellers for 2006 list.

Book 3’s engagingly illustrated stories include Kids Need Pets, What’s the Fuss?, Day Care for Dogs, A Fish That Can Fly!, and Kate and the Ten-Speed Bike. Introductory exercises teach word families and vocabulary, while follow-up questions develop students’ understanding of the stories and encourage their reasoning abilities. Drawings accompany many of the new words to help students understand the vocabulary. After each story, students can complete illustrations by adding their own drawings.

The Beyond the Code series is a great place to practice early reading comprehension.
