Big trucks zip by every day on the highway. They travel at all hours. They pick up loads here and drop them off there. Yet truck drivers do far more than drive. They need to know how to fix problems on their trucks, too. And what's a fifth wheel, anyway? Find out what it takes to drive a race car, ride through the back country, restore an old car, or fly over the water. Traveling on wheels, on water, or in the air can be pretty cool.Semi Trucks is one of 6 books in a set called Cool Rides, which is part of the Sound Out Phonics Based Chapter Books series. Cool Rides (Sound Out Levels 5 and 6) focus on the following skills: contractions, one-syllable spelling patterns, tense endings, word endings, compound words, prefixes and suffixes, and simple two-syllable words. Readers will not be able to tell that each book is written using controlled vocabulary.
