Why do we need to level our books? 

It is critical to match our readers to books at their Just Right level, or independent level.  Research has shown that children will only become better readers if they are reading books that they can read on their own with 96% accuracy or better, good fluency and good comprehension.

 

 How do we level our books?

 Below you will find a link to a Scholastic website that contains thousands of book titles and their guided reading level.     

                               

                        What do the levels mean?

Below you will also find a chart that details each reading level along with the text characteristics of that level and the reader characteristics needed to be successful at that level. 
 

 

  • Scholastic Leveling Website
    Once on this website you can type in the book title or author in the Quick Find box. Then you must click on the blue title that comes up. Scroll down and you should find GRL, or Guided Reading Level. Refer to the Reading Level Chart to see more information on that level.
