Description: Lizz and the Monsoon is the first book in a series containing fun stories designed to encourage early reading and to improve vocabulary, reading comprehension, and critical thinking skills. Young children will need help with some of the vocabulary, but every page has full-color illustrations to entertain and aid in comprehension for those just learning to read. This is designed for children of all ages (suggested range of 4 to 12) and—because it’s written entirely in rhyme—will be especially effective when read aloud. Great resource for parents, homeschoolers, and teachers.In the first volume, a Sonoran greater earless lizard named Lizz learns his lesson after failing to take the advice of his friends and venturing into the middle of a summer monsoon. In addition to enjoying an entertaining story, children will learn facts about the desert and its creatures. A brief study guide with parent/teacher suggestions follows the story and can be used without any additional purchase if desired, but a separate print-only version of The Lizz Quiz Workbook: Learning Activities to Accompany Lizz & the Monsoon is highly recommended for kids who are writing. The 40-page workbook contains far more content than the study guide summary at the end of the storybook and includes a variety of fun activities, each building on previous ones, allowing for continued use as the children become progressively stronger readers. Author/Editor Susan Newark is a retired teacher experienced with home schooling, high school and college English (both basic and advanced skills), writing labs, technical writing, and critical thinking, along with creation of workbook texts. Her goal is to improve literacy and to use a portion of Amazon and eBay sale profits to provide free texts to underprivileged children and underfunded schools.Also Available on Kindle for $7.95 Other titles by Susan Newark:The Phosphorescence of PearlDear HusbandThe Return of the VikingThe Complete Journals (Series)Finding Muself: The College JournalsThe Reading Journals (Series)Gypsy Gems Travel & Hiking Journal (Series)The Chesterfield Stationery WarsFlashback: Collected PoemsThe Occupation of Rooms PossessedLetters from Valley ViewPoems in the Attic: Witchery & the Art of JillFeminist Blues: Choice and Independence in the Music of Bessie Smith, Memphis Minnie, & Billie Holiday Scorpio LoveDelayed FlightAnimal TailsIn Defense of May SartonAdventures in Autism The Merry Muse Gazette (Series)Chats About Race All books ship well-protected from damage and are guaranteed to arrive in new condition.
