Each book is carefully edited by an experienced, certified K-12 Reading Specialist, with a concentration in the area of primary literacy. Our books are specifically designed for beginning readers. They are based on topics and events that are important to children. The text is clear and basic, yet very readable. The illustrations and photographs are purposefully direct, encouraging the reader to focus on words and story. Each book also possesses an introduction to the story on the back cover. This brief paragraph is perfect for teachers and parents to read aloud. It's written to generate prior knowledge and pique interest in the story. Also, since RR Books is an independent publisher, we are able to offer books at a reasonable cost.
Our books are ideal for a variety of students in pre-K, Kindergarten, first grade and beginning second grade. Our books are so versatile that teachers may use them for reading group instruction or independent reading. They are also perfect for tutors, intervention programs, home reading, and more!
