Description
Series Name: GO! Welcome Newcomers Fundamentals®—Emergent Level Reading for Immigrant Tweens
Grades: 4 to 8 | Reading Level: 0–0.9 | Lexile: HL10L–HL90L
Developed for tweens who are new to the U.S. and are in the early stages of learning English, this set of engaging fiction books is an excellent introduction to American culture as well as school and community systems. Based on the same 14 themes from the GO! Welcome Newcomers® collection (click here to view) but written at significantly lower reading levels, these stories are a great addition to an upper elementary or middle school newcomer classroom to support emergent readers.
The key to this set's accessibility is emergent level text combined with full-color photos on every page to support both fluency and comprehension. Each book is 48 pages but just 650 words or less, allowing for only a few sentences per spread. Readers will relate to the main characters who are tween newcomers themselves, facing realistic challenges as they navigate daily life in a new country.
For classrooms that already have GO! Welcome Newcomers®, this is a great starter pack. The books complement the nonfiction/fiction pairs from that series. Because they are written at much lower reading levels, they can be used as introductions to a topic or as independent reading options.
Additional Features to Call Out:
- 14 Fiction Books
- Full-Color Photographs on Every Page
- Diverse Tween Newcomer Characters
- Engaging Everyday-Life Scenarios
- Can Be Used as Stand-Alone Books or as a Starter Pack for GO! Welcome Newcomers®
