Level 2: Start the Engine! Reading with Help

These books are aimed at young readers who still need assistance to decipher words from adults or through picture clues. Repetition is prevalent, as is the use of sight words. Stories are more involved but have easy-to-follow plot lines, short sentences, and simple dialogue. (Ages 5–7; Grades K–2; Page count: 24–32; Word count: 250–500)
