Book Leveling

book leveling
Are you looking for a quick way to level your books?  Teachers ask about book leveling sites all the time.  Scholastic Book Wizard is a quick and easy way to do it.

You have several options to choose from depending on how you like to level your books:

*  Grade Equivalent- 1.0- 12.9

*  Guided Reading- A-Z

*  DRA- A, 1- 80

*  Lexile Measure- 200L- 1600L

I like to use the Guided Reading (A-Z) measuring system.
Product Details

So let's say I got a new book, Snowmen At Night- LOVE the Snowmen books!  And I need to get it leveled for my baskets.

Click on the leveling system you want to use.  I would click Guided Reading, type in the name of the book, and click find book.

This is such an easy way for me to level my books, stick a leveling sticker on it and in the basket it goes- so simple.  

If you need a quick way to level your books, you might want to give Book Wizard a try.  Clicking on the Book Wizard pictures above will take you right there!
