Welcome to
Saddleback’s Illustrated Classics™
We are proud to welcome you to Saddleback’s Illustrated Classics™.
Saddleback’s Illustrated Classics™ was designed specifically for the classroom to
introduce readers to many of the great classics in literature. Each text, written
and adapted by teachers and researchers, has been edited using the Dale-Chall
vocabulary system. In addition, much time and effort has been spent to ensure that
these high-interest stories retain all of the excitement, intrigue, and adventure of
the original books.

With these graphically Illustrated Classics™, you learn what happens in the story
in a number of different ways. One way is by reading the words a character says.
Another way is by looking at the drawings of the character. The artist can tell you
what kind of person a character is and what he or she is thinking or feeling.

This series will help you to develop confidence and a sense of accomplishment as
you finish each novel. The stories in Saddleback’s Illustrated Classics™ are fun
to read. And remember, fun motivates!
