I must admit, my kindergartener and I are great fans of the Step Into Reading series of books. Since my daughter had completed the Step 2 books in the Step Into Reading series of books, I decided to go ahead and purchase the Step 3 books. I was a bit hesitant because I noticed there is quite a big leap between the Step 2 and Step 3 books, especially in terms of vocabulary and sentence structure. The vocabulary is more advanced with higher order words, and the sentences are longer. I was also concerned that my daughter might not like the topics which seemed to be more 'academic' with history-based stories. My worries were unfounded. She loves the books and is reading them with very little help from me (and I enjoy listening to the stories!)These books are excellent for building children's reading skills as well as increasing their confidence in reading. Once you've completed the Step 1 and Step 2 books (I would advise proceeding level by level), the Step 3 books are not as daunting as they might first appear. In "The True Story of Pocahontas", intermediate readers (ages 5 and up) will learn about the 'real' Pocahontas and her adventures. This is not the Disney version, but a more accurate portrayal of Pocahontas from a historical point-of-view. That does not mean this story is boring. On the contrary, the story coupled with the vivid illustrations depict Pocahontas' amazing life in interesting detail, and engaged my young daughter's interest. Highly recommended.
I love these series. But most important that my son does. I order 20+ books and he loves to read them (usually it is not that easy to make him read). I got mix of 2-3-4 levels for the second grader, second level is too easy, but it creates some fun and he reads them with pleasure. Love it, I would recommend it.
This is a Summer reading book for my almost 7 year old heading into 2nd grade. She picked this from a list for non-fiction. It is a Step 3 History Reader. Step 3 is reading on their own, with engaging characters, easy to follow plots & popular topics. This book hit all that, The True Story of Pocahontas. My daughter was able to read it with some help on the indian names/tribes. We liked the story & the illustrations were good too!
I bought a class set of these to read with elementary students. I think that Ms.Penner accurately portrays both positives and negatives in Native-American and Settler relations at an elementary school level.
A great way to expose young readers to the true story of Pocahontas. Good size print and nice pictures. An excellent book for many ages from 4 to 12.
This easy reader introduces children to Pocahontas through an interesting, factual tale. It's a great historical read for first and second graders.
This book is about a girl named Pocahontas. She was a brave and beautiful Indian Princess. She saved an English man from a fight. She gets kidnapped and has to leave her home and family for a strange new life. Read the book if you want to know more.
for grandaughter 7 years old perfect reading 4 her i learned some things too!!! good series i am sure we will find other books of interest
