What Zach couldn't know, however, was the price that had to be paid to save the woman he loved. Views: 594

Set in the Dark Ages of Engla-lond, the "Last Tales of Mercia" are ten short stories featuring real historical figures and characters from the "Sons of Mercia" series. Though strongly connected to the series, they can be read independently."Where Are You?" is the third book in the 'More Sight Word' series. Designed for those who are just beginning to read, it uses the Dolch Basic Sight Words and the Fry Instant Words. "Where Are You" incorporates the vocabulary from the two prior books and adds 18 new words. There are a total of 134 words in this book so the vocabulary is repeated often. This purposeful repetition gives the reader the opportunity to practice and become familiar with the words.This series comes from the best selling hard copy book "More Sight Word Stories" which is no longer in print. To keep the stories current, I am providing them in eBook format. I hope your child will find reading success with this series just as children did with the original. Views: 594
