up to five or six words, often on one line. These books have
clear, easy-to-read print with generous space between words.

that children can point to words as they read. Books at this

somewhat longer sentences, and a variety of punctuation. There
is some direct correspondence between the text and pictures,
and repeating patterns support the reader. Topics are generally

1 or level 2 books. Print is clear and readable with adequate

pages and use a full range of punctuation. There are more
compound words, multisyllable words, and words with a variety
of inflectional endings. Illustrations are still supportive
but less so than at the previous level requiring the reader
to pay more attention to print. Click
