I wanted to point out that reading teachers are encouraged to use series books to increase comprehension and aid fluency. In her books " Beyond Leveled Books" (2001, Stenhouse) and "Still Learning to Read" (2003, Stenhouse) Franki Sibberson details specific ways to use series such as "Henry and Mudge" by Cynthia Rylant in the classroom. Series books are a boon to transitional readers, increasing their confidence as they try out their new skills. Anyone who was an avid reader as a child knows this to be true, but I found these books interesting since they made the case for series in the educational setting.
