Some GRADED READERS are about real people. They are called BIOGRAPHIES.

There are GRADED READERS about SPORTS.

Some GRADED READERS are true stories. We call these NON-FICTION.

Some GRADED READERS have CDs. You can listen to the story and read it at the same time.

You can also listen in your car. Don’t lose time when you are sitting in traffic !

Your library has class sets of some GRADED READERS. Everyone in your class can read the same book at the same time. Fun !

Please, do not write in a GRADED READER. Write on yellow sticky notes instead. Many students will read the book after you finish. Nobody likes dirty books.

Come to the library and get a GRADED READER. You may keep it for 2 weeks.

We hope you will like GRADED READERS. HAPPY READING !
