TwERL Phonics and Tween Emergent Reading Series
Click here to visit the publisher information.
TwERL Phonics for tweens (age 10 to 14) has been developed specifically for emerging readers in grades 4–8 who are developing their decoding skills. Written at emergent and beginning reader levels, the books have been carefully controlled to showcase phonics skills, beginning with CVC words and progressing through long vowels, consonant digraphs, vowel diphthongs, and multisyllabic words. Accompanied by dynamic full-color photos, the engaging storylines are tween-centric and represent a wide variety of genres.
Tween Emergent Readers: the Tween Emergent Reader Libraries will motivate striving readers (age 10 to 14) to pick up a book, start reading, and keep reading. This series features topics and genres particularly of interest to upper elementary and middle school students. The three-box set, with books written at emergent and beginning reader levels, this unique collection contains the books you have been searching for: high-interest fiction and nonfiction selections in sets that include both literary genres and content-specific themes.
