It's similar to Encyclopedia, you get a mystery with all the clues and have to solve it, but the mysteries are science mysteries and there's experiments in the back of the book. They've been really popular at my library.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05096787155616041727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22559214.post-16617696130706824892012-02-26T21:41:47.478-05:002012-02-26T21:41:47.478-05:00My 2nd grader just read Captain Awesome this week....My 2nd grader just read Captain Awesome this week. He loved it.<br /><br />Your end comment makes me sad. I've been trying to steer him towards Encyclopedia Brown, which are on his AR level to no avail. . . . .iAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03789250398792504412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22559214.post-62645053469681381972012-02-25T10:06:39.884-05:002012-02-25T10:06:39.884-05:00I've ordered Heidi for our beginning chapter s...I've ordered Heidi for our beginning chapter series - glad to know you think it will be popular.<br /><br />I think the school experience is a lot more negative for kids than it used to be - I just had a parent in last week who put her two homeschooled boys in school in January. They are both excellent, enthusiastic readers - or they were. Now they are starting to hate/refuse reading because their teacher has strict rules about what they can and can't read. Our district just this year extended the Scholastic Reading Counts/lexiles thing up through middle school. I have seen no appreciable gain for kids with poor reading skills, only the negative effects on kids who were enthusiastic readers.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05096787155616041727noreply@blogger.com
