“A simple look-and-find easy reader series with a sports twist for those in need of a fun challenge. Each title is structured the same way, with kids being asked to spot something on the player or field, followed by a description of the item they were meant to find. Filled with high-frequency sight words that help beginning readers understand the more unfamiliar sports terms, these are excellent easy readers. Large, full-color photographs include both male and female players. While the books are not necessarily unique, they are wonderfully enjoyable reads that will further ignite a love of athletics. VERDICT A great easy reader series, highly recommended for every collection.”—Abby Bussen

The Horn Book,
“Each slim easy reader opens with a photo glossary highlighting four sport-specific vocabulary words, accompanied by instructions: 'Look for these words and pictures as you read.' The following spreads are organized around these keywords, with bright stock photos and a smattering of facts. The volumes are light on substance but effectively reinforce the meaning of a small number of relevant terms. ”

“Filled with colorful photographs, the Spot Sports series is a great introduction to sports and a fun way for young readers to practice reading familiar words and learn new ones. Bowling shows readers a five-member bowling team, balls, and a bowler in action, in addition to revealing types of shoes bowlers need and what a foul looks like. In Cheerleading, readers watch spirited athletes performing stunts and get dose-up views of cheerleading uniforms, a mascot, and porn-porns. Batters hit and pitchers throw in Softball, which introduces readers to the game and shows a home run taking place. In Track and Field, several events are depicted, including the shot put, the high jump, and relay races. On the first page of each tide, readers are invited to look for certain words and pictures throughout the text. The large, color photographs show excellent detail and depict athletes in action, alone or with their team, and provide closeups of equipment the athletes use in these sports. The large-font, dear text is easily distinguishable from the background image, and vocabulary words are set in front of an orange icon for easy identification. A fun and educational series for beginning readers interested in the world of sports. ”—Selenia Paz
