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!

Crabs are ocean animals.
Some crabs live in the ocean.

Other crabs live near the
ocean on the shore.

A hard shell protects a crab's
soft body. Crabs molt
to lose the outer covering of skin so that a new covering can grow as
they grow.

Crabs leave their old shells.
They grow new, bigger shells.

The new shell hardens on the
crab's body.

Other crabs find empty shells
to live in. They move when the
shell does not fit anymore.

Crabs have eyes on stalks
a thin part that connects one thing to another; a stalk connects a crab's eyes to its body.

Some crabs can wave their
eyes around to look in different
directions at the same time.

Crabs have legs. The front
legs have claws
a hard, curved nail at the end of an animal's leg

Some crabs have one claw
that is bigger than the other.

Crabs use their claws to
gather food. Many crabs
eat dead plants or animals.

Crabs also use their claws to
dig nests in the sand.

Crabs even use their claws
to fight.

A crab's other legs are for
walking. Did you know that
crabs walk sideways?

Some crabs have back legs
shaped like paddles. They
help crabs swim.

Crabs can grow another leg
if they lose one.

Crabs hide when they are
in danger. Some crabs tuck
their legs inside their shells.
