Information about the series: Reading books for remedial education. Age-appropriate full texts are often too extensive and too difficult for struggling readers. The series "Simply Read!" presents shortened and simplified youth books. Each chapter begins with a text-relieving illustration and concludes with tasks and exercises that ensure comprehension. Both content-related and linguistic aspects are addressed. Fill-in-the-blank texts, picture and word puzzles, problem-oriented questions, drawing tasks, and other playful exercises support engaging reading instruction. An answer booklet is included with each book. To facilitate the selection of suitable reading material, the reading books are categorized into four levels according to reading age and performance capability. Beginning readers: grades 2 to 3, advanced readers level 1: grades 3 to 6, advanced readers level 2: grades 7/8, advanced readers level 3: grades 8 to 10. Information about the title: A treasure map, a ship's cook, and many pirates: For Jim Hawkins, the adventure begins when Captain Bones enters his parents' inn.
