Reviews
The books in this set center on vowel teams, aiming to build foundational phonics skills for young readers. While the content is straightforward and age-appropriate, the titles in this level feel repetitive and lack the variety and uniqueness found in the stronger offerings of the previous level. This repetitiveness may lead to diminished engagement, as the stories do not captivate the imagination the way their predecessors do. The illustrations are suitable for the target age group, maintaining a colorful and accessible style, but they do not compensate for the overall sameness of the narratives. While this level effectively reinforces important phonics concepts, it could benefit from more diverse and engaging content to hold the interest of young readers. VERDICT This set provides a solid foundation for phonics practice but may leave some children wanting more in terms of creativity and excitement.-- ""School Library Journal""
"These biographies are written in a kid-friendly, chatty style. All provide brief general information about the featured subject. The type is large, the sentences are easy to read, and the backgrounds uncluttered, making them good choices for beginning readers. They're also suitable for classroom read-alouds. The boldly colored illustrations were digitally rendered and encompass full spreads. The captions present interesting extra tidbits about the person. An additional bonus is a link to the Fact Hound Web site, which contains links to sites for further information. These biographies are similar in reading level to the ""First Biographies"" series (Capstone/Pebble) but those books are illustrated with photos and reproductions. Nettleton's titles are twice as large and more visually appealing.-- ""School Library Journal"""
