Reading

The following list of readers is meant to be a guide for you and your child. All of these books have not been reviewed by ACS staff; but good judgment has been used. Please use your best judgment when selecting books for your children. There are several ways to match your child's reading level to a book. I use the “GRL”, which is short for Guided Reading Level. A Guided Reading Level may be indicated on a book as an alphabet letter. This will coincide with your child’s reading level by their grade equivalent. Choosing books at this level will be best for your child’s reading, with help. They may need encouragement to keep trying or guidance on how to pronounce words. And remember you can tell when they may be too frustrated with the text, so help them pick a book that is just right for them. Happy Reading! Sincerely, Mrs. Anderson Scholastic books will often level their books by the GRL. [|http://www.scholastic.com/parents/] K.0 – K.9 = A,B,C,D 1.0-1.9 = A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I 2.0-2.9 = E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N 3.0-3.9 = J,K,L,M,N,O,P 4.0-4.9 = M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T

If you do not find this specific book at your local library, try a search by the author. They may have written similar books that would also be comparable at your child's level.I will do my best to change the books every four weeks.
