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 varied
simple 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 the
perfect books to build confidence and encourage a love of reading
that will last a lifetime!

Wind is moving air
a mixture of gases around the earth that cannotbe seen It swirls
around the earth.

Wind cannot be seen. But you
can feel it touch your skin and
pull at your clothes.

The sun helps make wind.
sunshine
light from the sun heats some parts of
the land and sea more than others.

The air grows warmer above
these heated areas. Warm air
is light. It rises into the sky.

Cold air is heavy. It flows into
spots where the warm air was.
This movement of air makes
the wind blow.

Sometimes the wind hardly
moves. The air feels still. Smoke
from a chimney rises straight
into the air.

Sometimes the wind moves slowly.
A breeze
a gentle wind stirs the leaves on the
trees and the hair on your head.

Sometimes the wind moves faster.
It pushes sailboats across the
water. It tosses kites in the sky.

The wind grows strong when a
storm is coming. Dark cloud
tiny drops of water or crystals of ice that floattogether in the air
move across the sky.

The wind whips tree branches
back and forth. It can turn your
umbrella inside out.

Some storms can make tornadoe
a fast-moving, whirling wind that touchesthe ground; a tornado looks like a dark,cone-shaped cloud.
These powerful winds twist from
a cloud down to the ground.

Tornadoes can pull large
trees out of the ground.
They can lift cars and rip
apart buildings.

blizzard
a snowstorm with strong winds, heavysnow, and cold temperatures are snowstorms
with strong, cold winds. It is
hard to walk into the wind
in a blizzard.

The wind can blow snow
into giant drift
a pile of snow made by the wind
