Fact to Fiction

Fact to Fiction

Reading Level 2–4 | GRL K-T | Interest Level 4–8 | David & Helen Orme

Nonfiction and fiction in the same book

Designed for reluctant and striving readers, each book includes a fascinating, fact-filled informational section followed by a fiction section with two versions of an engaging story—a full text version and a graphic novel version—on facing pages.

The parallel stories in the fiction section, presented at different ability levels, allow access for students reading well below grade level.

Featuring full-color, high-impact images and illustrations in a range of mature and contemporary styles, the books cover topics kids love to read about—extreme sports, dinosaurs, disasters, space, mysteries, magic, UFOs, and more.

They are strong and colorful, with layouts that leap off the page and draw the reluctant reader in. Each page is a new layout, a new set of colors, a new experience; just perfect for those readers with very low attention spans.

"Boys in particular prefer street credible nonfiction and are drawn to the visual information. The fiction story is an unexpected bonus and a great way to encourage further reading."
