About the Series: |
|
|
The Short & Easy series has a clear concept: Short texts on subjects that interest young people will grab the attention of even reluctant readers and motivate them to keep reading. Language and sentence construction are kept simple, and lots of dialogue keeps the stories flowing. The accompanying drawings and illustrations help readers' comprehension. The stories have a logical flow to them, but rather than having a neat, clean resolution they leave questions open for further reflection and discussion. |
