Road to Reading is a fun, goal-oriented program designed to foster parent-child interaction, reward achievement, and encourage every child to become an independent reader.On the Road to Reading, kids can develop skills at their own pace, going from Mile to Mile without the pressures of age- or grade-related measures.
The transitional Mile between easy-to-reads and chapter books, Mile 4 helps kids take the plunge into more complicated stories. Bite-size chapters make these books more challenging while the full-color artwork helps readers understand the text.
Jeff loves dinosaurs and fossils. So when his uncle plans an expedition to the Sahara Desert to dig for fossils, Jeff invites himself along. He just knows he will find the biggest, fiercest meat-eating dinosaur ever!
