Kings and Queens

Long ago, kings and queens ruled over people. Their job was to run things. But today, kings and queens don’t rule. We do! We cast votes to pick our leaders. Beginning readers hone their phonics skills while learning about different types of leaders. As readers practice decoding words with the digraph ng, they gain social studies knowledge. Every Stairway Decodables nonfiction book combines multiple aspects of the Science of Reading to support small group instruction, independent reading, and reading practice at home.
