Give Exciting Curriculum Support to Readers of Varying Ability
with the Differentiated Text of Freestyle and Freestyle Express!

	Freestyle for grades 6-9+, is a new approach to nonfiction, creating a "magazine" look and feel that appeals to readers of all abilities and draws them into the books.  Titles include ample white space, sub-headings, one key visual element on every page, and smaller images in sidebars.  Vocabulary is reinforced with a "new words" bar at the bottom of every page.  Each title also uses one single column for body text and features different text types throughout.
	Freestyle Express for grades 6-9+ and a reading level of grade 3, gives essential support to struggling readers on key curriculum topics.  These titles use a simplified version of the Freestyle layout, making it easy for less confident readers to follow.  Each book in this brand not only incorporates a lowered text level that allows struggling readers to access the curriculum basics, but also features a glossary bar at the bottom of each page to help explain difficult words.

Atomic is leveled, high-interest nonfiction that motivates reluctant and less able readers with text that is related directly and simply to the images.  Each book is designed as a fun, exciting page-turner so that readers are encouraged to keep reading and gain fluency.

Text is related directly and simply to the stunning, large images; while facts, statistics, and processes are presented through graphic organizers to help build curriculum and comprehension skills.

There are four reading levels to choose from, with eight titles at each reading level, each with a different text type: discussion, report, explanation, or recount.
