Red Rocket Readers are organised into levels which are assigned colours to make them easy to identify at a glance. This system originated in New Zealand and has been adopted in many parts of the world as the standard for leveled readers.
Book Bands – the colour levels shown closely match the UK Book Bands in which Magenta is known as Pink, Silver as White and Emerald as Lime.
