Part of the Story Friends(TM) language and literacy intervention program for 4- to 6-year-old children, this storybook set contains 26 full-color illustrated books for use in small-group intervention with children at risk for reading difficulty. Organized around two themes--Jungle Friends and Forest Friends--these durable books are filled with colorful illustrations, likeable characters, rhyming text, and lift flaps that encourage interaction as young children participate in Story Friends.

Fun, engaging, and effective, Story Friends is the first research-based Tier 2 language intervention program for 4- to 6-year-old children at risk for reading difficulties. Through interactive animal-themed storybooks and lively, engaging audio recordings, Story Friends effectively boosts oral language and vocabulary development--two of the most important predictors of later reading success. With colorful illustrations, rhyming text, interactive story components, and appealing narration from Wanda the Word Wolf, the program hooks and holds young attention spans. And because Story Friends is a natural fit with any existing classroom schedule or curriculum, it's easier than ever to deliver interventions when they matter most and get all young children ready to read and succeed.
