These decodable readers are great. My students love the colorful illustrations. I love the excitement of the students when they read the fiction and nonfiction stories.

It has been a game changer. Imagine how amazing it would be if used school wide. My class is blending letters together so much easier when they read, too. Also, many are able to spell phonetically so much better!!!
I love that you can gain access to everything you need, the lessons, the teaching, videos, assessments …. everything! I am also impressed that you can track your progress.
Our teachers love using this curriculum. To have phonemic Awareness activities that you can pick up and use with zero prep- game changer.

How Griffin Dunne’s fairy-tale upbringing unraveled
In “The Friday Afternoon Club,” Dunne chronicles the murder and divorce that upended his family.
Griffin Dunne’s new book, “ The Friday Afternoon Club ,” opens with a terrifying scene: Dunne’s mother, Ellen (Lenny), is awakened at 3 a.m. by a Los Angeles detective and informed that her 22-year-old daughter, Dominique, has been strangled and is on life support. Lenny immediately phones her ex-husband, Dominick Dunne, in New York to relay the news. “Nick, I need you,” she tells him.
Griffin Dunne knows how to tell a story. He’s an autodidact and raconteur who from an early age regaled family and friends — Carrie Fisher among them — with gossip and worldly takes on culture. Here he uses his authorial gifts — a filmmaker’s eye, photographic memory and way with a quip — to great effect, exploring how the seemingly charmed lives of the Dunnes unraveled.
Lenny was a charismatic heiress from Arizona by way of Miss Porter’s School for girls in Connecticut. She was drawn to Dominick’s sophistication, a departure from the men she encountered in Nogales, where her father ran a cattle ranch. In Manhattan, where Dominick worked as a stage manager for television, the couple hobnobbed with the entertainment elite. After an introduction from Frank Sinatra, Humphrey Bogart invited Dominick to L.A. to discuss a job opportunity. Upon his arrival, Dominick attended a party where he met Jimmy Stewart, Grace Kelly and Ava Gardner, and watched Sinatra sing a duet with Judy Garland. Dominick was enamored and accepted Bogie’s offer. The Dunnes moved to California with their sons, Griffin and Alex. A few years later, Dominique was born.
Summer reading
In 1960s and ’70s Beverly Hills, the Dunnes mingled with Tinseltown’s A-list. Griffin recalls getting fished out of the family pool by his idol, Sean Connery, who’d noticed the 8-year-old struggling in the deep end. “I saw the reflections of people smoking and drinking from below … oblivious to my efforts to reach the surface,” he writes. Suddenly “a hand lifted me by the butt and placed me at the pool’s edge.” The real-life James Bond admonished: “A wee bit early for the deep end, sonny.”
The outward glitter, though, disguised darker undercurrents. Dominick was desperate to impress and competitive with his brother, John Gregory Dunne. John and his wife, Joan Didion, were newly minted literary superstars. The tension between the siblings thickened over time. To onlookers, Lenny and Dominick seemed devoted to one another, but Dominick’s heavy drinking and affairs with men eroded their bond.
By Griffin’s account, he was a precocious prankster who early found that “if you dare to be sneaky enough, you will get away with anything.” Still, his boyish misdeeds landed him in enough trouble to get him kicked out of two boarding schools; he never graduated from high school.
Griffin confesses to wishing, as a young boy, that his father was more like his more macho uncle. He writes, “My fragile identity at that time was tied to a father who couldn’t throw to third and gave me two French poodles named after famous homosexuals.” He recounts a father-son baseball game Dominick volunteered for, to his son’s chagrin. On game day, Dominick was assigned right field, where it was thought he would do the least harm. But in the midst of play, Natalie Wood walked over “to keep him company.” The two bantered, unaware that Jack Palance was at bat. Palance smashed the ball; all watched as it sailed over Dominick’s head. When Dominick finally reached it after several boggled attempts, he threw it in Wood’s direction.
On the page — and one imagines, in life — Griffin skillfully deploys humor to soften life’s blows. And there were many blows to deflect. In the mid-1960s, when Griffin was 11, his parents divorced. In 1973, Lenny was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, which eventually confined her to a wheelchair. Griffin’s brother, Alex, experienced crippling mental illness, which resulted in a suicide attempt and periodic institutionalization. Dominick’s successful run as a TV executive came to a crashing halt when, in a drunken rant, he publicly insulted the legendary talent agent Sue Mengers and was subsequently blackballed. And then, in 1982, just after Griffin finally landed a dream role as the star of “An American Werewolf in London,” his beloved sister, Dominique, herself on the cusp of fame, was killed.
At that point, Dominick was sober and determined to reinvent himself as a writer. At work on what would become the best-selling novel “The Two Mrs. Grenvilles,” he befriended editor Tina Brown, who pressed him to cover his daughter’s murder trial for Vanity Fair. Griffin was ambivalent about his father’s assignment, writing that “I was happy for my father. He had touched bottom and I wanted him to come back as the person he felt he truly was. … But his enthusiasm and excitement also unnerved me. He seemed all too ready and willing to use Dominique’s trial as a springboard for his own midlife metamorphosis.”
The Dunne family’s exploits and tragedies often split them apart, but after the murder trial, they were more closely bonded than ever, which Griffin recounts wistfully, still contemplating the fairy-tale aspects of his childhood amid the fraught. Griffin, the accomplished actor, producer and director, does occasionally take center stage. But in this account, aptly subtitled “A Family Memoir,” Griffin mainly occupies the role of son and brother — a bit player in his own story — allowing his larger-than-life parents and the life they constructed to take the lead. Now 69, a husband and father with a long string of professional achievements to his credit, Griffin can afford to let the light shine on his storied family.
His sister’s memory still haunts and comforts him. “The Friday Afternoon Club” ends with the birth of Griffin’s daughter, Hannah, in 1990. As he sat with his newborn in a hospital room, he writes, “a presence had joined us, and I knew at once it was Dominique. … ‘Oh, Dominique,’ I whispered, ‘look what I have. Isn’t she beautiful?’”

Here's How to Get Free Kids' Books from Barnes & Noble's Summer Reading Program
Can get a free book for reading and reacting to others — I see no downsides here.
We've been independently researching and testing products for over 120 years. If you buy through our links, we may earn a commission. Learn more about our review process.
- Book retailer Barnes & Noble has announced the details of its 2024 Summer Reading Program.
- Kids can receive a free book, from a list of selected titles, if they participate.
- The program runs from July 1, 2024 to August 31, 2024.
That's why I'm grateful to events like Barnes & Noble's Summer Reading Program , which will at least give our family a little reward for all that work. In this case, a free book.
The details of the program are simple. The program is open to kids who are in grades 1 through 6. Kids who fall into that age range just have to follow three easy steps to reap their reward. The first is that kids have to read a total of eight books. There's no specific list, it can be any gripping yarns of their choosing. If you have a reader like mine at home, that should be the easy part.
In addition to finishing the books, kids also have to fill out a reading log with the titles of their books, and what their favorite parts were. You can find the reading logs on the Barnes & Noble corporate website , both in English and in Spanish . Adults can download them and print as many as they need, and hand them over to kids to fill in. In the journal, the blank space where kids have to describe their favorite part looks like it can accommodate one sentence, so they're not writing huge book reports or anything.
Then, the fun part: Between July 1, 2024 and August 31, they can turn in their reading logs at any Barnes & Noble store to receive their free book. Sadly, they don't get their pick of anything in the store. There's a pre-selected list, with a little more than 10 titles for grades 1 and 2, grades 3 and 4 and grades 5 and 6. There are more options for the older kids, but the lists are diverse enough that there should be something to appeal to every reader.
The best part: The eight books that the kids read don't have to be from Barnes & Noble. They can be books that have been lying around in your home, books from the library, even books from other bookstores. Everything counts!
The free books include classics that parents might remember like The Boxcar Children or A Wrinkle in Time , new hits like The Princess in Black and Dog Man , books for Minecraft fans and beloved authors like Rick Riordan and Kate DiCamillo. Who knows — maybe they'll walk away with a new (non- Wings of Fire ) obsession. (Please? The next one doesn't come out until December!) And if they're looking for inspiration for what to read to count toward their eight-book requirement? They can always check out the Good Housekeeping Kids' Book Award winners.

Reading group discussion guide for "Familiaris," Oprah's book club pick
By Jennifer Earl
Updated on: June 11, 2024 / 9:48 AM EDT / CBS News
- In the prologue, David Wroblewski writes, "The same would be true for each of the great quests in John Sawtelle's life." How would you describe the great quests in John Sawtelle's life?
- Mary is the strong, sensible, joyful backbone of the Sawtelle farm. She is talented at rerouting a conversation or course of action to a better result—at times she is an agitator, at times a peacekeeper. Which events of the book are changed by her intervention?
- John often uses the prompt "Suppose you could do one impossible thing." This phrase becomes his ethos for approaching life's challenges. How does each character interpret it?
- The text Practical Agriculture and Free Will by the fictional thinker George Solomon Drencher turns up regularly in Familiaris , quoted sincerely by John and as a punch line by others. The characters are amused by the book's overblown verbosity, but they do find guidance in its passages. How does the book unify the characters' life stages? Did any Drencherian quotes stand out to you for their strange practicality?
- Throughout the novel, So Jack encourages many characters to have heart-to-heart conversations with Granddaddy. Why? How do characters benefit from these conversations?
- John, Mary, Gar, and Claude are a family of extremely talented dog trainers, and the reader gets a detailed look at that process. Did any aspects of their work surprise you?
- How does the author differentiate each canine character from the others?
- Watching the Sawtelles and their friends over decades explores the broader contours of life experience—starting with their big dreams as they seek what Drencher would call their "singularism." Do you feel that the characters achieved a version of their dreams? Would Drencher say so?
- For those readers who have also read Wroblewski's debut novel, The Story of Edgar Sawtelle , how did the events of Familiaris enhance your understanding of Gar and Claude's relationship and their family history?
- Do you have a favorite canine character in Familiaris ? Do any remind you of a dog that has been part of your life?
- The friendship between John and Frank is tested throughout the book. How does the dynamic change over the course of their lives?
- The Peshtigo fire was a real event that occurred in Wisconsin on October 8, 1871. Its place in history is overshadowed by the Great Chicago Fire, which started on the very same day. Had you heard of the Peshtigo fire before reading Familiaris ?
- The part-human, part-supernatural character known to the Sawtelles as Ida Paine powerfully redirects several events, changing their outcomes and effectively turning back time. Do you see Ida as a force for good, or something more complicated?
- In your opinion, what does Ida want? What does Nyx want? Do they work together, or are they often at cross purposes? Who is in control?
- If you could have a conversation with your younger self and your older self, as John does with Ida's help in part III, what would you want to say?
- The categories the Sawtelles use to classify their dogs—Searcher, Consoler, Challenger, Defender—can also be used to describe the human characters in the story. How would you assign these? Do some apply to more than one character?
- There are many pair-wise relationships in the novel: John and Mary, of course, but also So Jack and Granddaddy, John and Elbow, Walter and Ida, etc. How can each of these be thought of as a love story?
- What is Elbow's relationship to wood? How does his work speak for him? Similarly, what about Frank's relationship to food?
- At the end of part III, John dreams of the first dogs who lived alongside humans. What does this dream mean to you? What do you think it means to John?
- Claude brings chaos and deceit to his relationships. In your opinion, does his darkness come from within or without, and is this universal?
- Why does Claude decide to leave at the end of part IV? What might he fear about staying?
- What does the novel say to you about friendship? What about love? Grief?
- Think about active mourning versus passive mourning, especially as it relates to John.
- Compare John's time at the rooming house with his time at the farm. What kind of community does John create in each place?
- What does it tell you about John's character that he never tells Frank the truth about the necker knob? Do you think Frank knows this, consciously or unconsciously?
- Which character do you most relate to, and why?
- Discuss the following terms: agency, choice, fate, optimism, creation, knowledge, yearning, loss. How are these manifested across the scope of the novel?
- Oprah Winfrey
- Oprah's Book Club

Restructuring Leads to Layoffs at Little, Brown
The shake up at the Hachette Book Group imprint comes at a time when publishers are feeling pressured by sluggish print sales and rising supply chain costs.
- Share full article
By Alexandra Alter and Elizabeth A. Harris
Hachette Book Group laid off seven employees at its Little, Brown imprint on Wednesday, according to the company, in a shake-up that was the latest example of turmoil in the publishing industry.
The layoffs, which the company described as part of a corporate restructuring, come as major publishing companies have been buffeted by sluggish print sales and rising supply chain costs, and have struggled to find new ways to get books in front of customers who have migrated online.
The seven people being laid off include the editors Tracy Sherrod, Pronoy Sarkar, Jean Garnett and Ben George, according to a person with knowledge of the situation who wasn’t authorized to discuss personnel matters.
To many industry observers, the departure of Sherrod, a high-ranking Black editor, is a troubling sign that publishers are faltering in their promise to diversify their companies, particularly within their executive ranks.
A Hachette spokeswoman said the restructuring was part of an effort to better serve readers and was not a cost-cutting measure. As part of the restructuring, the company said, it will hire in new roles. The news was reported earlier by Publishers Weekly .
Last month, Penguin Random House let go of two publishers of its most prestigious literary imprints, casting off Reagan Arthur , the publisher of Alfred A. Knopf, and Lisa Lucas , who was the publisher of Pantheon and Schocken and had been the first Black publisher at Pantheon in its 80-year history. Their departures were part of a cost-saving restructuring, according to a person in publishing familiar with the decision.
