The Blue Series has a range of text structures. Some texts, like the Green Series Photo Stories, have more of a narrative structure, describing what the characters are doing and experiencing. Other texts are non-fiction and informative. The series includes engaging topics ranging from sledding, to life in the city, to fun things to do at recess. Like the Green Series, the text is large and clear with extra space to help young readers see the distinction between each word.
