About the series

Why classrooms read Step into Reading

Step into Reading is Random House’s leveled reader program, and its numbered steps are the reason so many classrooms rely on it. Every cover carries a step from 1 to 5: Step 1, Ready to Read, uses big type, easy words and picture clues; Step 3, Reading on Your Own, moves to longer sentences and simple plots; Step 5, Reading Chapters, gets children ready for chapter books. Matching a book to a reader takes a glance at the cover instead of a separate leveling chart.

The range is wide, too. Originals like Hot Dog and Polar Bear Babies sit beside readers starring characters children already know, from Dr. Seuss’s Cat in the Hat to Disney Frozen, Disney Princess and Pixar’s Cars, plus science and math readers such as Dinosaur Days and The Fly on the Ceiling. Order a class set of one title for guided reading, or 25 copies each of several titles to stock leveled bins.

Why groups choose Step into Reading

  1. The level is on the cover

    Steps 1 to 5 are printed on every book, so teachers, aides and volunteers can sort a leveled library without a chart.

  2. Characters kids ask for

    The Cat in the Hat, Frozen, Disney Princess and Cars readers pull reluctant readers in; the step keeps the challenge right.

  3. Fiction and nonfiction

    Animal, dinosaur and math readers sit alongside the stories, so science and math centers get leveled books too.

What do the Step into Reading steps mean?

The publisher prints a step on every cover. Step 1, Ready to Read, is for preschool and kindergarten; Step 2, Reading with Help, for preschool through grade 1; Step 3, Reading on Your Own, for grades 1 to 3; Step 4, Reading Paragraphs, for grades 2 and 3; and Step 5, Reading Chapters, for grades 2 to 4.

Can I build a leveled set with titles from several steps?

Yes. Add titles from different steps to one order. Each title is priced at its own quantity tier, so 25 copies each of four titles gets the 25-copy price on every one of them.

What is the minimum order?

Each title has its own minimum, shown on its card. Every title on this page has a minimum of 25 copies, and the price per copy drops at each tier above that.

Do you accept school purchase orders and tax-exempt orders?

Yes. We accept purchase orders from schools and organizations, and tax-exempt organizations can send their exemption certificate with the order or with a quote request.

How purchase orders work

How long does delivery take?

Order at least 10 business days before you need the books (11 from mid-November through December). Free shipping on most orders over $95 in the contiguous US. Have a firm date? Put it in a quote request and we will plan delivery around it.
