Reading Skills

Some kids collect and train battling monsters, but 10-year-old Clay collects Reading Skills. Each of these tiny creatures has a different ability that can be used to battle challenging texts. If Clay can master them all, she just might become a reading champion. Readers will learn to identify topic sentences and main characters, answer critical questions about a text, and more!

The Building Blocks of English series helps readers master the fundamentals of the English language--from individual letters to advanced reading and writing skills--through fun and engaging graphic storytelling. Play-along questions make readers part of the story, and "show what you know" tests reinforce what they've learned.
