Fountas and Pinnell Reading Levels

During conferences we discussed your child's independent reading level.  This is the level you will want to use when selecting books for your child to read.

To find books with the right level, you can use:
1.  Scholastic Book Wizard: (Be sure to select "Guided Reading" before searching for a book's level.)
2.  Emma Clark Library: This is an excellent resource for finding leveled books.  Simply click on the desired level and hundreds of book titles with pictures will appear!
3.  Comsewogue Public Library: This site allows you to pick your desired level to download and print a leveled book list.
4.  Leveled Book List By Grade

These websites are linked on the left side of the class blog.  Look for the "Reading Level Book Finder" section under Shelfari.

It is important that your child does not read books that are above his/her independent level.  Research shows that when students practice reading in appropriate text, they become better readers!
