Illustrated Classics makes literary masterpieces easy and interesting for striving readers. This series retells classic tales with color illustrations, bringing students into literature they might otherwise find out of reach while retaining key phrases and quotations from the original text.
All four collections adapt classic literature for striving readers; the difference is format. Timeless Classics retells the original novel in full prose, keeping the story's integrity intact. Timeless Shakespeare presents the plays in traditional script format with simplified language. Illustrated Classics tells the story through full-color graphic novel art paired with key phrases and quotations from the original text. Differentiated Timeless Classics takes the same titles from Timeless Classics and Timeless Shakespeare and simplifies the language further for emergent readers, with a larger font and extra white space, while looking identical to the standard edition on the shelf, useful for a classroom where students are reading the same book at different levels.Some titles, including several Shakespeare plays, are available in more than one format, so you can match the book to how a student reads best.
Each 64-page title pairs full-color art with the story's key phrases and quotations pulled directly from the original text, so striving readers get real exposure to the source material's actual language, not just a summary of the plot.
