Historically, students whose reading skills were below grade level had little choice but to read material intended for a much younger audience as a means for improvement. The resulting mismatch between reading content and student maturity level often deflates both motivation and interest. Red Rhino Books fiction series remedies that with these highly engaging short novels conceived specifically with struggling readers in mind. The material is carefully crafted for reading levels 1 - 1.5, but with characters and themes very much of interest to students in grades 3 - 6. Genres in the series include science fiction, sports, paranormal, realistic life, historical fiction, fantasy, and more. Each novel begins with a concise, often humorous, informational snapshot of the main characters that serves, along with illustrations on every spread, to grab and hold the reader's interest.
