AR? DRA? Lexile?

There are many different reading leveling systems to identify at what level your child is reading. For instance, our school district in Shorewood using Accelerated Reader at their schools. All of our books in Children's are labeled at Accelerated Reader levels to help students and parents quickly and easily identify the reading level of a certain book. Your child may be using Guided Reading, DRA, or Lexile levels at his or her school, which are other systems for determining the reading level of a book.  

You can view this Text Leveling Conversion Guide to help you find books at your child's reading level at the Shorewood Library, to help convert the Accelerated Reader book level on our books to the reading leveling system your child's school uses.

Please remember that though your child is required to read books at his or her reading level for school sometimes, that it is okay to encourage  and let your child to read books outside of his or her reading level for fun reading. Limiting your child to only books that are at the appropriate reading level can sometimes make reading not fun for kids.
