Instead of chapters, the book is divided into three cases. Within each case, the authors have divided it into sections and labeled them with section headings.
Sly helps her friend Jack remove the birds from the soccer field so he can practice his kicking. Then she figures out who is taking Melody's sports equipment. Finally she helps a mother discover why her preschooler is acting strange.
I really liked the format of the book since it would encourage transitional readers to build stamina. The different sections with headings make this a perfect book to practice "check for understanding", summarizing, figure out the main idea and monitor comprehension.
*Highly recommend.
Strategies: check for understanding, main idea/details, summarizing, monitoring comprehension, stamina
