Level 1:


Read Aloud or Read Along

Blastoff! Readers has three reading levels available on iTunes to help beginning and struggling readers advance their skills. African Elephants is a Blastoff! Readers Level 1 title. The slower narration speed helps new and struggling readers not only follow along, but also practice reading aloud with the narration if they choose. Once your reader masters the Level 1 speed, advance to our slightly faster Level 2 titles and on to Level 3 to improve their reading abilities.
