ALL ABOARD READING™

apple bike !
The All Aboard Reading series is especially designed for beginning readers. Written by
noted authors and illustrated in full color, these are books that children really want to read-
I books to excite their imagination, expand their interests, make them laugh, and support
I their feelings. With fiction and nonfiction stories that are high interest and curriculum-
I
I related, All Aboard Reading books offer something for every young reader. And with four
I different reading levels, the All Aboard Reading series lets you choose which books are
I most appropriate for your children and their growing abilities.
I
I
I I Picture Readers
·---------------------~----------------------~
I I Picture Readers have super-simple texts, with many nouns appearing as rebus pictures. At
I I the end of each book are 24 flash cards-on one side is a rebus picture; on the other side is
I I the written-outword.
I I
I I
I I Station Stop 1
I I Station Stop 1 books are best for children who have just begun to read. Simple words and
I I
I I big type make these early reading experiences more comfortable. Picture clues help
I I children to figure out the words on the page. Lots of repetition throughout the text helps
sun :
I
cal~e :
I
children to predict the next word or phrase-an essential step in developing word
recognition.
I I
I I
I I
Station Stop 2
I I Station Stop 2 books are written specifically for children who are reading with help. Short
I I sentences make it easier for early readers to understand what they are reading. Simple
I I
I I plots and simple dialogue help children with reading comprehension.
I I
I I Station Stop 3
·---------------------~----------------------~ Station Stop 3 books are perfect for children who are reading alone. With longer text and
I I
I I harder words, these books appeal to children who have mastered basic reading skills.
I I More complex stories captivate children who are ready for more challenging book.
I
I
In addition to All Aboart Reading books, look for All Aboard Math ReadersTM (fic-tion
stories that teach math concepts children are learning in school); and All Aboard Science
Readers™ (nonfiction books that explore the most fascinating science topics in age-
appropriate language);

truck ball All Aboard for happy reading!
