Sequential Words with Your Pets

by Kristen Rajczak

Overview

Stories wouldn’t make much sense without transition words. One kind of transition indicator—sequential words—helps a writer order events, digress, and signal to the reader that the story will be ending soon. Readers will learn all about these important kinds of transitions, including when and how to use them. Sequential words will be introduced through relatable examples, complemented by helpful fact boxes and colorful photographs. The main content expresses a vital concept of the common core English language standards, while the everyday situations presented will engage readers with the new material in a fun way.

Editorial Reviews

11/01/2013
Gr 2–5—These books introduce language concepts using common topics to clearly model them. Each spread contains an "On the Write Track" text box that gives more information or additional examples. For example, Sentences explains that, "An incomplete sentence is called a fragment." Conjunctions states that, "Dependent clauses act like a noun, adjective, or adverb in a sentence." On each spread, large, stock photos on the right page are relevant to the facts presented on the left. Diagrams and charts will help readers grasp the information. Children will be drawn to the clean layout and well-presented subject matter.
