Understand creature ecology through easy-to-read text and naturally improve reading comprehension!

The 'Yuruyuru Encyclopedia Reading Comprehension Drill' series continues to gain fans among parents and children, with the understanding that 'children are more motivated to learn when it's about something they like.' The latest installments focus on the surprising 'Extinct Creatures' that once inhabited Earth and the fascinating 'Amphibians & Reptiles' with their unique ecologies.

The 'Extinct Creatures' book features texts about creatures that can no longer be seen, ranging from trilobites that went extinct hundreds of millions of years ago to the Japanese wolf, which lived until recently. It also includes many endangered species, providing an opportunity to think about our relationship with living things.

The 'Amphibians & Reptiles' book delves into the ecology of amphibians and reptiles, which have become popular as pets in recent years, featuring colorful poison dart frogs and uniquely-looking frilled-neck lizards.

Based on the 'Yuruyuru Encyclopedia' series, which has surpassed 1 million copies in cumulative sales, this series features texts rewritten for lower elementary school grades, making it perfect for first-graders' first steps in reading comprehension.

▲ The one-spread-per-day format allows for steady progress without feeling overwhelmed.

'Sparkle Stickers & Poster' to spark learning motivation!

As a special introductory bonus, each book includes 20 sparkle stickers of the creatures featured and a poster. By placing a sparkle sticker on the poster after completing each lesson, children can learn enjoyably and systematically every day. This drill is sure to ignite children's desire to 'complete the poster by sticking on the sparkle stickers!' and 'solve more problems!', making home study, which can often be a challenge, more engaging.

※There are no stickers for the 21st lesson, as it is a special feature.
