Reading levels?

Post by christyg » Thu May 05, 2011 9:34 am

Hi! I hope that you are all having a good morning. I have a question. I have purchased the classic set of books for storytime in Beyond and Bigger, but I have been using the girl interest sets for school with my daughter. I have been putting the classic sets in tubs labeled by what reading level they are, for her to read to herself later for fun. I have looked on a couple of websites (AR bookfinder and Scholastic) to get the reading levels on the books because I didn't see them on HOD's website. I did see where the DITHR books did list what level they were. Anyway, I had 4 of the books that I couldn't find the level on and wondered if any of you knew. The books are:

1) The Balloon Boy of San Francisco by Dorothy Kupcha Leland
2) Come on Seabiscuit by Ralph Moody
3) More Stories from Grandmas's Attic by Arleta Richardson
4) Benjamin West and his cat Grimalkin by Marguerite Henry

Thanks so much for any help with this that you can give me. :D

Christy :D

If you go to the book shop and look under the genre headings instead of sets it'll tell the levels there...

Ben West is 5.5
More Stories is 3.9
Seabiscuit is 6.5
Balloon Boy is 6.2
