Using their cache of already published easy-to-read books, Puffin
launched their Easy-to-Read program. Favorite stories by such beloved
authors as James Marshall, Jean Van Leeuwen, and Harriet Ziefert are
certain to attract readers to this series. Though the quality of stories
in this series is uneven, some of them are superb. Like most other
beginning-to-read series, Puffin Easy-to-Read is divided into reading
levels. Level 1 uses sentences with clear and simple words and
illustrations that help the reader understand the story line. Level 2 is
the springboard for emerging readers: the stories use longer sentences,
yet maintain a vocabulary easy enough for the child to feel comfortable
on his or her own. Level 3 offers more challenging sentences and longer
stories. Kindergarten - Grade 3.
