The Pull Ahead Reader series consists of sets with similar text and subjects. Half of the titles are designated as “Fiction” with color digital illustrations, while the others are “Non-Fiction” with color photographs. Designed as pairings on the same topic, each title is straightforward with very limited text, content, and a short length, which works well as early readers. This twelve-book subseries focuses on math you can see around you, by demonstrating math concepts that kids can observe (such as shapes, counting items, and subtraction). The illustrations or photographs depict a diverse cast of children, with various skin tones, genders, and physical abilities included. These simple readers can be read on their own, in pairs, or as a complete set.
