(Please note that this is Nonfiction Classroom Set B, Box 1. This includes the Guide, 3 series of 4 decodable readers x 6 copies each for a total of 72 little books, and digital access.)
The Jump Rope Readers decodable books gradually and systematically introduce beginning readers to new letter-sound correspondences and high-frequency words. Along the way, they also introduce memorable characters, exciting adventures, fascinating nonfiction content and the foundational elements of fiction and nonfiction texts.
As you explore the Jump Rope Readers fiction books, you’ll notice the books are arranged into different series, each starring a distinctive main character that students will enjoy getting to know. We meet these familiar characters again as they make special guest appearances in later fiction books, and then in each nonfiction book where they invite children to explore high-interest social studies and science topics inspired by story elements from the fiction series. The nonfiction books start off in story format to draw kids in and spark their curiosity as they learn about the world around them with topics that include community helpers, city birds and smelly animals, climates and weather, rainforest wildlife, the deep sea, and more.
Across each fiction series, phonics skills become increasingly complex from book to book. The nonfiction series are written to the highest level of the corresponding fiction series. This allows teachers to transition kids from each fiction series to its nonfiction partner, where additional practice cements kids’ phonics skills before they move to the next fiction series in the sequence.
