Description: Jackson's bike is missing, and he's on the case in this In Bloom title. Readers will build word knowledge as they practice the skill of decoding the suffix -less throughout the story.

Each book includes sequenced sound/spelling patterns, a repetition of sight words, and comprehensive word lists to support teaching.
