Note to Librarians, Teachers, and Parents:

Blastoff! Readers are carefully developed by literacy experts
and combine standards-based content with developmentally
appropriate text.

Level 1 provides the most support through repetition of high
frequency words, light text, predictable sentence patterns, and
strong visual support.

Level 2 offers early readers a bit more challenge through
variedsimple sentences, increased text load, and less repetition
of high-frequency words.

Level 3 advances early-fluent readers toward fluency through
increased text and concept load, less reliance on visuals, longer
sentences, and more literary language.

Level 4 builds reading stamina by providing more text per
page, increased use of punctuation, greater variation in sentence
patterns, and increasingly challenging vocabulary.

Level 5 encourages children to move from learning to read
to reading to learn by providing even more text, varied writing
styles, and less familiar topics.

Whichever book is right for your reader, Blastoff! Readers are
theperfect books to build confidence and encourage a love of
readingthat will last a lifetime!
