Red Canoe Books specializes in accurately leveled chapter books.

Our books provide high interest, low vocabulary stories with age appropriate characters and events.

All Red Canoe books fall within the Grade 2 reading range, but appeal to children of all ages. The high interest, low vocabulary format provides encouragement to children who are reading below their chronological age.

Our books are written by specialist teachers who recognize the challenges facing children with reading difficulties.

We’ve paid attention to detail in our books and listened carefully to the children who gave the books a try before publication.

Our books are superbly illustrated by professional artist, Erin Green. The illustrations support the text and help to sustain the reader’s attention throughout the book.

The text is written in a simple, easy to read font with lots of spacing, especially around dialogue between characters. The books are printed on heavy weight paper in an off- white colour to prevent any glare. The paragraphs are short and the sentences are uneven in length. The irregular spacing makes it easier for readers to find their place. Sentences all end on the same page, the reader doesn’t have to turn the page to find the end of the sentence.

Our books are accurately leveled and combine adventure filled stories with easy to read text.

The grade level is in small print on the back of each book.

At Red Canoe Books, we strive to make reading accessible to all children by providing a selection of carefully crafted, leveled books.
