A Note to Parents and Caregivers:
Read-it! Readers are for children who are just starting on the amazing
road to reading. These beautiful books support both the acquisition of
reading skills and the love of books.
The PURPLE LEVEL presents basic topics and objects using high
frequency words and simple language patterns.
The RED LEVEL presents familiar topics using common words
and repeating sentence patterns.
The BLUE LEVEL presents new ideas using a larger vocabulary
and varied sentence structure.
The YELLOW LEVEL presents more challenging ideas, a broad
vocabulary, and wide variety in sentence structure.
The GREEN LEVEL presents more complex ideas, an extended
vocabulary range, and expanded language structures.
The ORANGE LEVEL presents a wide range of ideas and concepts
using challenging vocabulary and complex language structures.
When sharing a book with your child, read in short stretches, pausing
often to talk about the pictures. Have your child turn the pages and
point to the pictures and familiar words. And be sure to reread favorite
stories or parts of stories.
There is no right or wrong way to share books with children. Find time
to read with your child, and pass on the legacy of literacy.
