Editorial Reviews

11/01/2013
Gr 1–4—This series tries to integrate stories with instructive writing about parts of speech, but as there is no distinction between the fictional and informational narratives, readers may be confused. The books are illustrated with color photographs and bright cartoons. Words that represent the parts of subjects are highlighted on the pages. For example, "works," "jumps," and "falls" are highlighted in Verbs. Several activities are included in each volume and often have links to printable versions. "Think About It" sidebars contain helpful information, such as a chart in Adverbs that shows how to distinguish between an adverb and an adjective. This series does move beyond just talking about the usual four parts of speech (nouns, verbs, adverbs and adjectives), but it's still a secondary purchase.
