Penguin Young Readers
Penguin Young Readers feature a traditional numbered levelling system, as well as the Guided Reading levelling system, to ensure quick recognition for educators, parents, and kids. Younger readers figure out new words from picture and context clues while they begin to recognize fiction from non-fiction. Maturing readers can understand different points of view and identify story elements like characters and conflict.

Step Into Reading
Step Into Reading is carefully graded reading programme with five levels. Each level includes fun stories and colourful art or photographs in books with original fiction, popular characters, top selling, categorized non-fiction, and more. Children will progress through the levels at their own speed, developing confidence in their reading.
