Up I See and See Pig Has a Plan Have You Seen My Cat? Let’s take a look at examples of each level. In the next post in this series, I’ll tell you where to find those books. What’s the answer? A guided reading library of leveled books. It’s not unusual to have a second grader start the year at a level G, for example. You’ll also find that you’ll have older readers who are reading at a lower level. My oldest three kids all started school reading at level J or higher, while my fourth child started kindergarten at level B. Of course, kids will read at different levels. Let’s look at how these levels correspond to different grade levels in K-3.

My favorite leveling system is the Fountas & Pinnell text level gradient – also called the guided reading levels. You need a system for analyzing texts and organizing them for teaching your small groups. That’s because one essential of guided reading is leveled texts.

Welcome to post number 2 in our series, How to Teach Kids to Read Using Guided Reading.Īs a teacher of guided reading, it’s important that you have a consistent system for leveling your books. Watch for an update to this post in the coming month! I absolutely believe in using small groups to teach our readers, but I no longer believe that this has to be guided reading in the traditional sense. UPDATE COMING SOON: As I learn more about the science of reading, I am revising my approach.
