Marcus Catches the Light

This story, as with the other books in the Marcus series, invites

young readers to explore their natural world and experience

its wonders through the eyes of its loveable protagonist.

The syllabic highlighting of text provides young readers greater ease

in applying phonetic understanding to decode new vocabulary. The

rich vocabulary is intentional, and awakens the mind to an exciting

linguistic adventure that will be experienced by the young reader

as a challenge overcome. It is the author's heartfelt desire that

this story be an initial spark igniting a life-long passion for reading

and unlocking the power of literacy for its readers.
