Reading Levels

When it comes to reading, students need to be challanged; however, if the book is a bit too difficult problems may develop. Everyone wants to be successful at everything they do, and kids are no different. If a child is successful in reading (and comprehending) a book, they feel successful and enjoy the process. The students success empowers them to continue and take confidence in their ability to read more. If the text they are reading is too frustrating to them, they will loose confidence and begin to shut down. They will resist reading to you (or themselves) because they don't see themselves as successful, and who wants to struggle (or fail) at anything?

The Reading Levels below are aligned by grade level.

A,B,C,D = Kindergarten (A=beginner, D=Advanced Kindergarten) 

E,F,G,H,I, = 1st grade (E=early 1st grade I=late first grade) 

J,K,L,M = 2nd grade  

N,O,P = 3rd grade  

Q,R,S=4th grade  

T,U,V=5th grade

Please bear in mind - a childs comprehension is limited by their "background knowledge" of the material in the text.  They may be able to read the text easily, but not understand because they simply don't have enough "life experience" to make connections to the book.
