SPACE SHUTTLE
A space shuttle is made up of over 2.5 million parts.
Shuttles can take five to seven astronauts at a time on a mission into space.
A shuttle has four main parts: the orbiter, fuel tank, and two rocket boosters.
They are reusable and built for about 100 missions each.
The fuel tank and rocket boosters fall away after blast off. A typical shuttle mission lasts seven to eight days.
Shuttles weigh 4.5 million pounds (2.05 million kg).
Beyond the clouds without a trace, a space shuttle soars to outer space.
Shooting through the sky so fast, landing safely, home at last.
To land, a shuttle uses a parachute to help slow it down.

CABOOSE
CABOOSE
At one time, the crew lived and worked in the caboose.
Today, computers control the running and scheduling, so there is no need for a caboose.
The crew would watch over the train from the cupola, a raised, windowed area on the roof of the caboose. The conductor checked the freight and made sure it was delivered to the right place on time.
Some cabooses had an office, stove, and bunks where the crew would sleep.
The last car has seats to hold the crew and windows to see the most wonderful view!
From the caboose, they watch every car as the train makes its way from near to far!
They had a platform and a grab rail so that crew members could climb aboard, even when the train was moving!
Trains Illustrated by Ralph Voltz From the engine up front to the caboose in the back, the freight train rumbles down the track. Kids learn about all the different cars on a freight train as they read this bouncing rhyme!

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT NOW I’M READING!TM Thank you SO much for helping my son learn that reading is fun! Before your books came into our home, our son would strongly resist reading. The other day, I “caught” him reading . . . all by himself. I was so proud! Thank you! —parent and homeschool teacher Kids and parents love it! Not only do the books progress in a logical series, building skills one upon the other, there are also “study questions” and a list of skills covered at the back of each book. My kindergartners love these books! —teacher
The greatest reading success comes from a balance of phonics and literaturebased reading. Now I’m Reading!TM successfully combines both to build confident, independent readers. —Carmelita K. Williams, president, International Reading Association My son already knew his alphabet and the phonetic sound of each letter but had not “put it all together” to really read. Within just a few days, he had started sounding out the words in the first few stories and had mastered some basic sight words. The stories and illustrations are entertaining for both of us, and each booklet builds up his confidence in his ability as well as his love of reading! I’m recommending these books to other parents for sure! —parent My son can read! We’ve tried it all, and this has finally got him excited . . . Thanks so much! —parent
