Distinctive Features of The King School Series<br />
Showcasing a recurring cast of children, The King School Series is a new collection of 60 leveled books <strong>for</strong><br />
beginning readers. The Series features . . .<br />
l Exceptionally appealing characters.<br />
Every book in the Series is about the<br />
King School Kids, spirited first-graders<br />
in Mrs. Hall’s class at the King School.<br />
Mirroring the diversity of today’s<br />
classroom, the King School Kids<br />
represent various ethnicities and<br />
come from a variety of family<br />
structures. Your students will have no<br />
trouble finding King School Kids with<br />
whom they can identify. Once they<br />
read just one book about their favorite<br />
characters, they will clamor <strong>for</strong> more.<br />
Each of the Series’ twelve levels has<br />
five separate titles. One title in each<br />
level focuses on all the King School<br />
Kids; each of the remaining four titles<br />
focuses on a different main character.<br />
Of the Series’ 60 separate titles,<br />
12 books star all the King School<br />
Kids, 12 books star Derek, 12 books<br />
star Jasmin, 12 books star Kendra,<br />
and 12 books star Victor!<br />
l Engaging leveled stories. Your students will be “hooked” by these vibrantly illustrated stories based on<br />
young children’s interests, concerns, and experiences: losing a tooth, being afraid of the dark, learning to ride a<br />
bike, squabbling with a sibling, wondering what it’s like to be a grown-up, and much more.<br />
Besides being charming, these stories have been written to fit carefully defined leveling criteria. From one<br />
level to the next, the books advance slowly but steadily in difficulty, making The King School Series ideal <strong>for</strong><br />
new readers—whether early emergent, emergent, or early fluent.<br />
(For more on the Series’ leveling criteria, see page 9.)<br />

<strong>Townsend</strong> <strong>Press</strong> is pleased to offer a six-pack of each title in the Series <strong>for</strong> the low price of $6.00— just $1.00<br />
