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!

Octopuses have soft bodies.

They can fit their bodies
through small spaces.

Octopuses have a head.

They have two large eyes.

Octopuses have eight arms.

There are webs
the fold of skin between the arms of an octopus of skin
between the arms.

Octopus arms have suckers
round cup-shaped parts on an octopus's arms; suckers can bend and stretch to hold onto things.

Octopuses use their suckers
to smell and to taste.

Octopuses also use the
suckers to grab things and
to hold onto rocks.

They use their suckers to
crawl on the ocean floor.

Octopuses live alone in
rocky dens
an animal's home; octopuses make their dens between rocks or inside coral caves; sometimes they build their own dens.

They leave their dens to
hunt for crabs, clams,
and lobsters.

Octopuses poke their arms
between rocks to search for
their prey
an animal that is hunted by another animal for food; octopuses eat crabs, clams, snails, and lobsters; some octopuses eat other octopuses.

They bring the prey back to
their dens to eat.

Octopuses hide
from predators
an animal that hunts other animals for food; seals, whales, and eels are some of the predators that eat octopuses.

They can change color to
match their surroundings
