Everyone who is new to Treasure Hunt Books will need a copy of The Treasure Hunts Handbook and one or more copies of Your First Treasure Hunt.
Your First Treasure Hunt
20 pages, full color
Before reading other Treasure Hunt Books, all children should learn the treasure hunt process by doing the hunts in this book with adult support—or by doing the hunts while watching the free instructional video. The clues in this book are very short so that children can do the hunt process 14 times in about 15 or 20 minutes—ideal preparation for embarking on the Level A hunts independently!
The Treasure Hunts Handbook for Teachers & Parents
16 pages
BONUS GIFT: A code that entitles children to five free hours of electronic, research-based, reading-skill-development activities and much more, including progress reports for teachers and parents.
Level A
The clues in Level A are 2-stanza poems or a few sentences of prose so that beginning readers can get the satisfaction of reading and solving clues quickly. Each clue answer is represented with a beautiful full-color photo, and there is one hunt topic per book:
- Living Things, 16 pgs
- Actions, 16 pgs
- At Home, 16 pgs
- Math, 16 pgs
Reading a treasure hunt book involves a wider variety of skills than reading a regular book. Therefore, after learning the treasure hunt process, we recommend that all children read one or more Level A books to build confidence and become skilled “solvers” and “hunters.” They should read all of the Level A books before moving on to Level B unless they ask for more challenging treasure hunts.
Level B
Most clues consist of 3-stanza poems and each clue answer is represented with a beautiful full-color photo. Each book contains two or three hunts, each of which focuses on one topic.
- Food & At School, 24 pgs
- Living Things & Things to Wear, 24 pgs
- Outside, At Home & People, 28 pgs
- In the Kitchen, Body Parts & At the Beach, 28 pgs
Level C
The clues consist of longer poems or more prose than in Level B. Each clue answer is represented with a beautiful full-color photo. Each book contains three hunts, each of which focuses on one topic.
- Food, Outside & Feelings, 32 pgs
- Living Things, Actions & At School, 32 pgs
- Sports, Body Parts & In Town, 32 pgs
