Many parents know their child's reading level, but few know what that reading level actually means. Today's blog post will give you a better understanding about the levels and its grade-level equivalent.
Fountas & Pinnell created a text leveling system that ranges from A-Z, with A being the easiest, to Z, being the most difficult text. You can search for the reading level of your favorite book using the website: Scholastic's Book Wizard
Your child was given his/her most recent independent reading level. Please talk to them about their reading level, search for appropriately leveled books, and read together as a family.
The F&P grade level equivalent will show you if your child is reading at the 5th grade level. At this point in the school year, a level V means your child is meeting grade level expectations for reading. Anything above a V exceeds grade level expectations, and anything below V is not yet meeting grade level expectations.
