Entertaining and engaging informational topics and fictional storylines are at the core of this comprehensive series of 600 Leveled Reading books for Guided Reading, shared and small group reading, and remedial programs such as Reading Recovery.

Our new Phonics collection offers a structured approach to literacy with 128 new Decodable Explorers titles. These are scaffolded by strong and effective tools at the Foundation and Pre-Reading levels to build alphabet knowledge and phonemic awareness; the original Alphabet Explorers set is now joined by two new sets, Blend Explorers and Sound Explorers.

All Red Rocket Readers titles offer a carefully controlled sequence of challenges throughout the levels to ensure your students progress with confidence and enthusiasm.
