Children who are asked to read slightly above their comfort level will develop into superior readers. Reading requires an active, discriminating mind that is challenged to think, compare, and contrast. Our literature study guides train students to become active readers. They focus on vocabulary, spelling, comprehension, and composition skills. The Moffats by Eleanor Estes is the charming story of the ordinary adventures of a family of four children and their mother. Our study guide is coordinated with the edition published by Harcourt in 2001.
