Series Overview: Since 1984, Step into Reading has set the standard. Random House was the first trade publisher to implement a leveling system that recognized the developmental stages of beginning readers; offer a reader series as original paperbacks; and publish a mix of original and licensed titles. The line includes exciting fiction and non-fiction (now broken into categories), favorite characters, and innovative line extensions such as Comic Readers, Math Readers, Phonics Readers, and Leyendos a Pasos Spanish translations: a complete literacy program with something for every child.
