Children who are struggling readers need supplemental materials that not only teach skills, but also help children realize that reading can be interesting; reading can be fun; and, most importantly, that they can be successful readers.

The content of these stories will interest, inspire, and motivate young readers. Struggling readers will find the magazine-style format appealing and easy-to-read.
The exciting audio CD allows reading to become a multi-sensory experience.
