Review by School Library Journal Review
PreS-Gr 1--Crafted for beginning readers, "Directions in My World" introduces key prepositions like in, out, near, far, up, and down. Taking a set of opposites, each book presents these words in authentic, real-life settings, such as in school or with pets. With one simple sentence per page, the books utilize high frequency sight words, and each text uses only about 30 different words in total. Repeating sentence structures ("This plane is near. This plane is far.") and full-page color photographs that align with the text on the page support comprehension. Tools for parents and caregivers include before, during, and after reading questions, as well as a visual list of "Words to Know." VERDICT Tools to aid in comprehension and fluency make this a quality series for early readers to practice directional words.
