*Don't know your child's reading level? Ask your child's teacher.
*How to select readers that are appropriate to your child's reading level? Try to select books on level for independent reading and some 1 level above for guided reading. You can help your child "Level Up" with guided reading! Introduce new letter sounds, sound combinations and words with guided reading. Once familiar with the higher level book, encourage your child to try and read the higher level book on their own and "Level Up"!
*Fountas & Pinnell is a system teachers use to determine reading levels. Students take a test that determines their reading comprehension, accuracy and fluency. It is a great tool for teachers to plan meaningful instruction. By aligning the books you take home with their level, you are helping your child improve literacy skills in the best way possible!
