Children enjoy getting to know the recurring characters in our eight story strands.

Fountas & Pinnell Text Level Gradient™: A to I, J (Willy and the Beanstalk), K (Life Cycle of a Dragonfly)

Note: The majority of the time, the Blueberry Hill levels align with the Reading Recovery levels/Fountas & Pinnell text level gradients. When they don’t, careful consideration is given to the words, sentence length and language structures before a decision is made to keep the Blueberry Hill level the same.
