ETA hand2mind ® Introduces 140 New Titles for Shared, Guided, and Independent Reading!
Vernon Hills, IL, March 2003— ETA hand2mind introduces SunSprouts™—a comprehensive series of Big Books for shared reading and leveled texts for guided and independent reading. SunSprouts offers instructional material and books that engage beginning readers with predictable story structures and memorable characters. Stories are also brought to life with audio CDs and hand puppets of recurring characters.
SunSprouts features award-winning trade book authors and illustrators, and stories with satisfying and surprising outcomes in both fiction and nonfiction texts. Beginning readers easily identify with the familiar stories and topics. "Even at the simplest, most repetitive level, children need texts that engage them so they see a reason for reading," says SunSprouts author and editor, Rodney Martin.
Each SunSprouts level offers twenty titles that introduce early readers to a wide range of literacy styles and genres, while helping them learn skills and strategies necessary for successful reading and writing. Comprehensive instructional support provides management strategies, detailed lesson plans, blackline activity masters, and a Record of Oral Reading for every title.
With the addition of SunSprouts to their reading/language arts product line, ETA hand2mind is your complete source for K–6 resources to help teach skills from reading readiness and phonemic awareness through language arts and writing.
