This is Book 2 in the new Level 3 nine-book set of Reader's Clubhouse elementary readers. They are designed for both classroom use and home schooling in grades 1 and 2. Level 3 books are primarily intended for reading instruction following students' completion of Levels 1 and 2 readers in grades K and 1. Reader's Clubhouse titles on all levels emphasize the phonics method of teaching. Each Level 3 book focuses on just a few vowel sounds. Six of the Level 3 readers fall into the fiction category, and feature attractive color illustrations supplementing a wide range of story themes. Each title also suggests an activity related to the book's subject matter that is appropriate to the child's grade level. Nonfiction titles are photo illustrated in color. In addition to their main text for reading instruction, they present "Fun Facts" sidebars that will enrich children's reading experiences with interesting items of information. The nonfiction readers contain the basic elements of an adult's nonfiction book, including glossary and index. They also list two books and one web site where teachers, parents, and kids can find more information about each book's subject. All books present a letter addressed to parents and teachers which explains the fundamental phonics concepts that underlie the Reader's Clubhouse series. Book 2 teaches the ea, ee, and ie sounds.

A book to encourage parents and kids to talk about their dreams. Right around bedtime, there is a magical moment when real conversations can happen between kids and grownups. It comes after the excitement of the day, when parents were at work and the children were in school. It comes after dinner, when the whole family shares. Just as one is getting tucked in -- but before lights out -- it's story time. Whether your child dreams of being an astronaut or a chef, a sailor or a teacher, Sweet Dreams is a deceptively simple little book for parents to share with their children. Reminiscent of the 1,001 nights (Daddy said, 'That's a pretty sweet dream. Tell me another...') and The Little Prince, Sweet Dreams is engaging, playful, and full of wonder. It encourages parents to talk to their children about dreams -- and vice versa -- in a dialogue that doesn't always happen in this busy day and age. Studies have shown that children need one-on-one interaction with parents on a regular basis, and reading together is a key component in creating strong role models to help kids grow up to be calm, compassionate and successful. Programs such as the NEA's Read Across America actively sponsor programs to bring kids and parents together for story time -- yet there are few books where the father is a central figure, and none on the NEA website. On San Francisco Chronicle's The Poop parenting blog, Kelly Mills called attention to this fact. Though this book was not intended to be a book specifically for fathers, it does have a dad playing a central role. By keeping kids focused on their dreams we help to achieve them. Sweet Dreams will initiate some special conversations between parents and children. And who knows what you will learn about each other? Just ask: What do YOU dream of?
