The segments were color-coded and when you finished all of the stories in one segment you moved on to another color. I always reached further in the color levels than my classmates because I read faster. I think that system encouraged my love for reading, because it introduced different genres to me and also introduced me to non-fiction.

I had the SRA reading course as well although I started it in grade 2.
I can still see in my mind the little folders all in their boxes and how nice it made me feel. Everything was complete in each folder. I was kind of devastated when I finished them all. I guess I thought they would go on forever.
