As young readers become more fluent, they vastly improve their comprehension. To accomplish this, children need books that are captivating and inspire a positive reading experience. All books in this series include a refrain that provides students with the built-in opportunity to reread the same text. The rhythm, rhyme, repetition, and dialogue provide opportunities for students to use voice inflection and expression.
