About This Series

The Joy Cowley Collection is 60 original stories for the stretch between decoding and fluency — when students have the words but not yet the pace. Joy writes with rhyme, rhythm, and humor, and with characters students come back for: Mrs. Wishy-Washy, the Meanies, and the Hungry Giant. Best used once students can decode the words — for expression and phrasing, not word-solving.

18 Big Books support shared reading and writing
Grade 1–2 · For students who read short vowels, digraphs, and blends accurately · Levels E–I
Character-driven stories build interest and comprehension
