Marcus Finds His Voice

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

lovable 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.
