About SandCastle

Nonfiction books for the beginning reader 9 Basic concepts of phonics are incorporated with integrated language methods of reading instruction. Most words are short, and phrases, letter sounds, and word sounds are repeated. 9 Book levels are based on the ATOS™ for Books formula. Other considerations for readability include the number of words in each sentence, the number of characters in each word, and word lists based on curriculum frameworks. 9 Full-color photography reinforces word meanings and concepts. 9 “Words I Can Read” list at the end of each book teaches basic elements of grammar, helps the reader recognize the words in the text, and builds vocabulary. 9 Reading levels are indicated by the number of flags on the castle.
