is for students in grades 4 8 who are reading at Reading Levels 1, 2, and 3. These reading levels correlate roughly with first, second, and third grade reading levels. However, the content-area vocabulary and concepts are tied to grades 4 8. So, for example, you will find grades 4 8 History/Social Studies vocabulary words and concepts such as plague and famine in a Level 1 book. However, the reading level will still be Level 1. Additionally, the last page of each book contains Key Words. These are primarily key content-area words. Page references allow readers to easily find the pages where the key concepts are taught. 48 pp., 5" x 7", Softcover
