Saddleback Educational Publishing Saddleback Gravel Road Verse Sample, Set Of 4

Just like prose, a novel in verse tells a story. But verse is unique because readers access the text through short “chapters,” or poems. The varying lengths of the chapters are ideal for a struggling reader, giving them breaks to collect their thoughts, to imagine the characters in their mind’s eye, and to set the scene-like a frame in a movie. The structure of poetry makes the books appear less intimidating, with plenty of airy white space. Moreover, the depth and substance conveyed in verse is every bit as deep and real as in a Gravel Road prose novel. Sample set includes That Selfie Girl, A Heart Like Ringo Starr, Otherwise, and Teeny Little Grief Machines. Grades 9 to 12, Reading Level: 3.0, Lexile Levels: 440L to 620L. Set of 4
