It was fun to finally hear the real adventures of Robin Hood after so many years of only knowing the Hollywood version. There's a surprising amount of singing among the Merry Men, which works quite well in an audiobook but probably less well in a physical book. Special shout-out to the narrator, who did an excellent job not only with singing all the songs but with giving great voice to the various characters.

Bring the Classics To Life. These novels have been adapted into 10 short chapters that will excite the reluctant reader as well as the enthusiastic one. Key words are defined and used in context. Multiple-choice questions require the student to recall specific details, sequence the events, draw inferences from story context, develop another name for the chapter, and choose the main idea. Let the Classics introduce Kipling, Stevenson, and H.G. Wells. Your students will embrace the notion of Crusoe's lonely reflections, the psychological reactions of a Civil War soldier at Chancellorsville, and the tragedy of the Jacobite Cause in 18th Century Scotland. In our society, knowledge of these Classics is a cultural necessity. Improves fluency, vocabulary and comprehension.
