Story Smarts Books 1-5: Story Smarts is the key to reading comprehension success.

Story Smarts is the key to reading comprehension success. Reading comprehension is a skill that is vital to academic success. Yet it receives little, if any, systematic attention in the early years of school. Story Smarts changes all that. Even if your child has not yet learned to read, you can use the program to give him or her competence in this vital realm. Developed by world-renowned educators, Dr. Marion Blank and Laura Berlin, Story Smarts includes 30 attractive, full color picture stories, grouped into two levels of complexity. This book features the first 5 (1-5) of these stories. These stories are sophisticated, but easy for your child to read and they enable you to teach the key components of comprehension, including the “main idea.” The stories advance steadily from simple to more complex and are designed so that a child always experiences mastery and success.
