English Book Suggestions - Guided Reading Levels If you don’t know your child’s reading level, try some of the titles until you find books your child can read independently and try other books within the same level. Keep in mind the reading level, as well as the age and maturity level of the individual student, when choosing from the higher level books. It is strongly recommended that a parent reads the book first. Many of these books are available at neighborhood libraries as well as bookstores. For further information, please see these links as well: http://www.scholastic.ca/clubs/bookclubbasics/readinglevels/ The initial page explains the types of levels. The Book Wizard helps to find specific books and their levels. http://education.scholastic.ca/category/GR_CHART The chart shows how the different ways to level books relate to one another. *Please note these lists are often based on unilingually taught English levels. Some adjustment may be needed for our immersion program. http://www.greatschools.org/students/books/456-books-for-kids-grades-k-5.gs Series (multi-grade level approximation indicated) *For books in specific levels, see below.
