Gr 2–5—These books introduce language concepts using common topics to clearly model them. Each spread contains an "On the Write Track" text box that gives more information or additional examples. For example, Sentences explains that, "An incomplete sentence is called a fragment." Conjunctions states that, "Dependent clauses act like a noun, adjective, or adverb in a sentence." On each spread, large, stock photos on the right page are relevant to the facts presented on the left. Diagrams and charts will help readers grasp the information. Children will be drawn to the clean layout and well-presented subject matter.
