My Project

The Jump Rope Readers are a series of decodable books that are just right for beginning readers.

What makes the Jump Rope Readers stand out from other decodable texts are the engaging stories and fabulous illustrations that show the beautiful diversity of our world, making them a welcome addition to classrooms!

The books will support small group instruction in our first grade classrooms.

They have been carefully and strategically designed so that they are:

interesting, (so students will want to read them)

comprehensible (so that students are able to understand them) and

instructive (so that students will learn from them).
