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!
