Reading Level: 2.0 to 3.0 | Grades: 6 to 8 | Lexile: HL210L to HL360L
White Lightning Nonfiction pairs mature, high-interest topics, from Navajo Code Talkers to Esports to Stephen Hawking, with full-color photographs, infographics, charts, and tables that pull striving readers into real information rather than a textbook page. Each of the sixteen titles includes a 20-word glossary for vocabulary support, at Reading Level 2.0 to 3.0. A sample set covering all sixteen titles is also available.
Saddleback Educational Publishing created White Lightning Books® for middle schoolers navigating a stretch of self-discovery, high energy, and sometimes defiance, when the right book can make all the difference for a striving reader. Spanning Reading Level 1.5 to 2.5 overall, the collection is organized into three series: White Lightning Books® Fiction, White Lightning Books® Mysteries, and White Lightning Books® Nonfiction, each covering a wide range of themes and interests so nearly every reader has an entry point. These aren't YA or elementary books, a distinction younger teens notice and appreciate.
