Reading for the Fun of It

Our goal is for all students to love reading.  Students learn foundational reading skills, and then become fluent and capable readers during the elementary school years. Students who are able to read for pleasure open their minds to new discoveries, and are better able to navigate other subjects in school. While we do focus on learning to read at school, we also want children to be able to check out a book that they truly want to read - just for the fun of it.

To help students and teachers understand reading levels, many of our books provide colored labels to guide readers using the conversion chart below. If students are encouraged to check out a book based on their reading level, we recommend also allowing them to check out another one at any level that sparks their interest.
