These are great books for children learning to read and for children who don't like to read "long: books. Also these books have a ton of information in them that keep my children interested on reading to the next page. I find that my children will read these books over and over again.
My husband is a life-long racing fan and even has our 4 year old daughter "trained" to look for his favorite driver on the track. He began reading this title with her last night and was excited to have another way to talk with her about some of the history of his favorite sport. During the chapter on Richard Petty they even got into a discussion about the Cars movie and how he was the voice of one of the characters. They are enjoying reading this together and will be continuing with the final 2 chapters tonight. I am sure they will be reading this book together more than once during the loooooong racing season! Even though this book is recommended for grades 2nd-4th, I am sure that with parent support any young race fan could understand this book.
Good book, but it is definately a "level 5" book. My son wished there were more pictures and less words
Ms. Roberts has written a great leveled reader to peak the interest of young racing fans. The book focuses on some of the sport's most memorable drivers with each chapter being devoted to a different one. Each chapter ends with a stats page that highlights that's drivers important career achievements. Colorful pictures and interesting captions adorn almost every page. Nascar's Greatest Drivers is perfect for readers who are ready to read a simple chapter book. Check with your child's librarian or teacher to see if they have ordered the Accelerated Reader test for this selection as well.I look forward to sharing more titles from this series with my students!
