On this page you can explore finding reading material for your child. A commonly used leveling system is the Fountas and Pinnell leveling system created by reading gurus Fountas and Pinnell. It is a widely used system for leveling books along a continuum from A-Z. We use this as a guide and not an absolute.

If a student is reading way beyond what is likely to be successful, then we can have a conversation about it.
