Book Leveling

We are getting quite good at finding 'just-right' books. However, it helps to check out books that are around your level to get a sense of what these types of books are like. Here are a few things that can help:

The library search engine can now search by levels. Click on 'Guided Reading Lists', then 'Fountas and Pinnell'. There are other great ways to search here so check them all out!

Check out the Scholastic Book Wizard for more help on book levels. Many books are listed, but not all.

Also keep in mind that these are not always 100% accurate. It's always best to rely on what you know to decide if a book is 'just-right' for YOU! Also know that you should be looking within a range of books. If you are a level 'P' you may also find books in 'O' and 'Q' that may be good for you. Again, use your judgment!
