Level 7 books include story lines with more episodes in time sequence, and may include imaginary happenings in the context of familiar experiences.

Non-fiction titles bring in simple non-fiction tools, such as diagrams, labels and captions. Additional vowel marks that encourage the flow of pronunciation are introduced at this level. Verbal sentences of up to 8-10 words with repeating and accessible actions appear at this level.
