Designed specifically to appeal to reluctant readers, these 64-page softcover books present self-contained chapters, each a fascinating true-life ‘headline’ story. A topical book review, glossary and index accompany each title.

Additionally, a comprehensive teachers guide provides answers, a suggested lesson format and ten reproducible activity pages to support each nonfiction title, focusing on giving lower-level readers the tools to construct, extend and examine the meaning of text.
