Publisher's Synopsis
Road to Reading is a fun, goal-oriented program designed to foster parent-child interaction, reward achievement, and encourage every child to become an independent reader.
On the Road to Reading, kids can develop skills at their own pace, going from Mile to Mile without the pressures of age- or grade-related measures.
With longer chapters and occasional black-and-white illustrations, Mile 5 is just right for the independent reader. Mile 5's memorable characters, award-winning authors, and original stories prepare children for a lifetime of reading.
Bobby Quinn is shy. He's been shy his entire life. But all that changes when he gets a wiggly, squirmy little beagle puppy for his birthday. With a wag of her tail, Lucy makes friends easily and somehow drags a reluctant Bobby out of his shell.
