Reading Leveled Books!
If you want to find out the level of a particular book, you can use Scholastic Book Wizard:
- Search “Scholastic Book Wizard” in your browser or go to https://www.scholastic.com/teachers/bookwizard/
- In the search bar, enter the title of the book.
- Under the drop down list for Reading Level System, choose “Guided Reading Level”.
- Many books are leveled already, but some are not leveled and might be listed as N/A. In this case, you can use the Five Finger Rule outlined below or try looking for a book that is leveled
If you don’t know the level of a book, your child can use the “Five Finger Rule”:
0-1 mistakes/ unknown words = too easy
2-3 mistakes/ unknown words = just right
4 mistakes/ unknown words = okay to try
5+ mistakes/ unknown words = save for later
