Ready Readers is based on the Teaching the Classics approach to reading, which involves working with stories at or below a student's reading level. While the volumes in this series are appropriate to the reading level of a specific age group, they can be applied to grades at their reading level and up. The new cover design displays the beautiful artwork of J. Renee Illustration. Jessica Johnson took her inspiration from the pages of The Great Divorce,and just as the brilliant little, red tour bus stands out as something solid and real in Lewis' ghostly world, we believe Socratic discussions such as those found in this book's pages will bring upper level students face-to-face with ideas that will clothe them in Solid Flesh.
