Dear
Bradt Primary School Parents:
We level books to help us match books to readers
at the level at which a child can read and understand
independently, or “on their own.” We level books using the Fountas & Pinnell
system. The
Fountas & Pinnell system assigns each level a
letter, “A”
through “V,” from easiest to most challenging text.
Many
bookstores, libraries, and book catalogs are beginning
to provide Fountas & Pinnell reading levels for
their books. One
of the Internet sites we have found to be most helpful
is the Beaverton School District Leveled Book
Database. Once
on their site, you can search by subject, author, title,
and/or guided reading level. Their URL is:
http://registration.beavton.k12.or.us/lbdb/default.htm.
We
have also begun to put together lists of leveled books
you should be able to find in a library or a book store, to get you started.
Attached, please find copies of those lists. We encourage your child to read, read, read every
day. We’d like them to read to you, to the neighbor,
to the crickets, to themselves, 15-20 minutes a day! Practice
makes us better readers. Thank you for your assistance!
