Hi!

Carrie has a reader level for all of the books in her store. Does anyone know where I could find this level for other titles? We are told to raid our bookshelves and let this program work with what we have. Wonderful! But how do I know what the level is of what I have?

Also, suggestions on determining how long we should take to read a given book?

I am trying to set up and plan our reading but I need some guidance and this information could really help!!

found the answer so I thought I would share:

To get the reader level Carrie uses, go to:

http://bookwizard.scholastic.com/tbw/homePage.do

As far as how many days to spend on a book, I looked at a few 5 day books on her list, 10 day, and 15 day and then guessed.

I hope that helps some of you as you plan your DTHOR for the year.

Thank you for this very valuable resource! You can also google "AR bookfinder."

i have also used bookwizard at scholastic .com

I had not seen the scholastic site but have always used this one

and now apparently you can search on Barnes & Noble using the lexile scale. Thanks for the new option - always looking for new books on the right level for my challenging to teach reading student!
