5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating and informative book for early readers, August 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Sword in the Tree (Library Binding)

This book is great for children who are working on reading but who yearn for intellectual stimulation which is missing from the other books they get to read. The plot is fascinating and the story provides interesting historical information. A real winner.

5.0 out of 5 stars High Interest for a New Reader, February 15, 2000

This review is from: The Sword in the Tree (Library Binding)

Once your child has moved beyond easy phonetic readers, you'll want to find interesting books with large print that aren't too difficult or overwhelming for the new reader. Bulla's "The Sword in the Tree" fits this description perfectly.

Try reading the first chapter to your young reader to spark his interest. Then read the next chapter or two aloud together so he/she becomes familiar with the words and flow. Then sit back and listen as your child finishes reading this exciting book about greed, courage, and chivalry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for English as a Second Language Students, September 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Sword in the Tree (Hardcover)

This book is an excellent source for "medieval" units. I have used it with weak 5th grade English as a Second language readers and they are very successful with it. It teaches grade level content at a lower reading level. They do not feel they are reading an easy book. It is a wonderful starter book for reluctant readers.
