Level 2: Getting going is for children who are ready to read sentences. The words tell the story and the pictures add to the storyline.

Level 3: Moving ahead is for children who are ready to read short paragraphs. They will need to use the clues in the pictures and their reading vocabulary.

Level 4: Becoming fluent is for children who are ready to read longer paragraphs. They rely less on visual clues, but the pictures add interest and support.
