Posted by Frog Publications on 4th May 2026
If you’ve been searching for the right next step for your stronger readers…
You’re going to want to see this.
Frog Publications is getting ready to release something teachers have been asking for:
Drops in the Bucket® Reading Level E (MH-108)
Designed specifically for students reading at levels 5.0–6.5
Where Growing Readers Need the Most Support
This stage of reading matters.
Students are no longer just learning to read…
They’re expected to think, analyze, and understand more deeply.
And that’s where things can get tricky.
Some students:
- Start to lose confidence
- Struggle with deeper comprehension
- Rush through reading without fully understanding
Drops in the Bucket® Reading Level E was built to support this exact transition.
Built for Upper Elementary Success
This isn’t just “more reading practice.”
It’s targeted, intentional skill-building for students who are ready for more.
Each lesson is designed to help students:
✔ Strengthen comprehension at a deeper level
✔ Expand vocabulary through real context
✔ Improve critical thinking skills
✔ Work independently with confidence
All while keeping the simple, consistent Drops in the Bucket® format teachers rely on.
Now Reaching Into 6th Grade
For the first time, Drops in the Bucket® Reading Level E extends into 6th grade reading levels (5.0–6.5).
This makes it a natural fit for classrooms and intervention groups where students are working across levels—while still providing a clear next step for upper elementary readers ready for more.
