Two Types of Homesick (These First Letters, Book Four)

Arin and Rakesh are best friends split up by a big move, but writing letters makes the distance between them feel a little shorter. In this decodable book written for middle school audiences and beyond, readers will spend time practicing the welded sounds all, am, an, ang, ing, ank, ink, ong, onk, ung, and unk. This book is one of many in development by Storyshares, the goal of which is to create a new shelf in the global library designed to reach even the most left-behind readers in middle school and beyond. It combines key science of reading principles with characters, topics, themes, and imagery built around young adult interests.
