This student book, “Ambush in the Aspens,” is the first student book scheduled in our language arts program, “Readers to Real Books.”  This wonderful resource includes stories to read, spelling practice, grammar pages, language skills, phonics pages, vocabulary, and reading comprehension.  This student book has around 260 pages of interactive worksheets and reading. It is printed in FULL COLOR.

This student book continues the story line begun in “Syllables to Sentences” and continued in “Paragraphs to Pages” and “Stories to Short Chapters” language arts.  Acorn the Squirrel, his merry friends Dash and Scoot Chipmunk, and Tatty Common Mouse continue to have fun adventures in a forest where adventures happen all the time!  In this write-in reader, the friends discover a new foe roaming the fields, strange things are found in Acorn’s attic, and Tatty is kidnapped!  Your student will enjoy reading these stories and may even ask to read ahead, as they are left wondering what will happen next!
