In addition to being designed to accommodate various levels of early reading comprehension, the books in this series balance the need to communicate potentially life-saving healthcare information with young children's natural curiosity and desire to learn through play and a sense of fun.

This balance is achieved by combining practical hygiene practices with level/grade-specific instructions and guidelines for parents and teachers. These instructions and guidelines foster interactive engagement with children, reinforce the information presented in the lessons, and improve reading comprehension skills.

In addition, each book contains a list of Fry sight words. These words - named for Dr. Edward Fry who compiled them in the 1950s and updated them in 1980 - are high frequency words specifically targeted towards young children. It is widely accepted that in order to read and comprehend fluently, young readers must be able to recognize these words immediately on sight. The inclusion of Fry sight words in the Promiseland Park COVID-19 Book Series provides parents and teachers with opportunities to reinforce the importance of their children understanding these words.

Clearly, the significance of such high frequency words is not to be underestimated given the fact there is a direct correlation between childhood literacy/reading comprehension and sustainable success in higher educational pursuits and adulthood.

Regarding children's health and their direct participation in helping to keep their loved ones safe, the Promiseland Park COVID-19 Book Series supports internationally recognized standards for general hygiene and safety practices as they apply to protection against germs, especially the Novel Coronavirus, which causes COVID-19.

In spite of the serious subject matter, children will love to read books from the Promiseland Park COVID-19 Book Series, whether under adult guidance or independently. Titles include:

• Germs, Germs, Germs!

• No, Germs, No!

• Nancy Wears a Mask

• When Germs Visit

• Germs Are Everywhere!
