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 sentece
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!

Parrotfish are colorful fish.
They swim in shallow
ocean water.

Some parrotfish are small.
Other parrotfish can grow
as big as you!

Thick scales
hard plates that cover the body of a fish cover a
parrotfish's body. Each scale
can be a different color.

Parrotfish change colors as
they grow.

Many parrotfish swim
in groups called school
a group of fish

Parrotfish use their side fins
flaps on a fish's body used for moving and steering through water
to swim forward. Most other
fish use their tail fin.

Parrotfish have teeth that are
stuck together. The teeth look
like a parrot's beak.

Their teeth never stop growing.

Parrotfish eat small living
things called algae
tiny living things that grow in water Algae

live inside coral
a tiny ocean animal with a small skeleton

Coral is the skeleton
a hard structure that supports and protects the body of an animal of a
small ocean animal. Corals pile

up and become coral reef
a structure in the ocean made of the skeletons of many corals

Parrotfish bite off chunks
of coral to get algae.

Biting hard coral helps
parrotfish wear down
their teeth.

Parrotfish crush and eat coral
with their teeth. Their bodies
turn it into white coral sand.
