Fountas and Pinnell, Lexile Level, Primer, Pre-primer, Beginning Reader are all terms you may have heard if you have a young reader in your house. Seriously, what does it all mean? Is there actually a way how to determine the reading level of a book? If your child can read The Cat in Hat , which is a level J in Guided Reading, can she independently tackle Diary of a Worm , which has a Lexile Level of 510L or is she ready for Keena Ford and the Second Grade Mix-Up , even though that one has a DRA of 30?
Through this post, I am going to attempt to elucidate and explain reading levels. So scroll through to find the system that your child’s teacher uses or pour yourself a large cup of coffee and sift through all of the various ways educators, librarians, and book publishers level and categorize books for young readers.
Reading Levels Are Like Starbucks Sizes
I admit, I don’t visit Starbucks unless I have a gift card. I am also that person who goes to Starbucks and still tries to order a large iced tea. The barista calmly asks if I would like a venti or a trenta and then explains that I need to choose between Passion Tango, Matcha Green, or Guava White Tea. Then comes the question of sweetened, unsweetened, or added lemonade.
For the young reader, finding a book that can be read independently can be as tricky as remembering all of the variables in a Starbucks order. Little readers who are not familiar with reading levels or taught to find a “good fit book” often go for books that are too easy and boring, too difficult and frustrating, or, like my kindergarten son, books that have too many unreadable Star Wars planet names like Kashyyyk. If a child knows her reading level, she can find books that contain sight words she knows, plot lines that are not too advanced, and vocabulary that is manageable.
Explain the Levels, Please
There are many different ways that books are leveled. Here are the three most popular methods for how to determine the reading level of a book.
Developmental
Children become readers by moving through different developmental reading stages. These stages range from the emergent pre-reader to the expert fluent reader. Typically, the emergent pre-reader is between six months and six years of age, while the expert fluent reader is 16 years and older. The developmental categories are broader categories than many of the other leveling systems.
Letter Levels
When I taught first and second grade, I found letter levels to be the most kid friendly way to organize a classroom library. If your child’s school levels books using Fountas and Pinnell, Reading A-Z, Scholastic Books, or Guided Reading Levels, then books will be leveled using a letter system. While it would be nice, these leveling systems do not always correlate. A book that is a Reading A-Z Level P, is not always a Level P using the Guided Reading Levels.
Number Levels
Books can be leveled through such systems as Lexile Numbers, The Direct Reading Assessment (DRA), and Reading Recovery. These systems measure texts by complexity and a reader’s skill level and then assign a number.
I Have My Child’s Reading Level, Now What?
Throughout the school year, your child’s teacher will probably perform reading inventories or assessments with your child. These will determine your child’s reading level.
If you homeschool or your child’s school does not use leveled reading, then use a simple test called the “five finger test” to roughly determine your child’s reading level. Have your child choose a book and open to the second page. Ask your little one to read the text out loud. If your child struggles with independently reading five or more words on that page, the book is too difficult and is not a good fit. You should also ask some comprehension questions to make sure that your young reader understands what she is reading. When a book passes the five finger test, use one of the links below to determine that book’s reading level.
Once you have the reading level, take a look at these five helpful websites, apps, and charts that will help you and your child find or level the perfect book:
Levels Should be Helpful, Not Stressful
Reading levels should not feel restrictive. They should be used as helpful tools and not as a draconian system that kills the love of reading. Encourage your child to read books on her level, but don’t be upset if she chooses to reread an old favorite or picks up a nonfiction book that has some advanced vocabulary. Imagine how horrible it would be if adults had to always adhere to a reading level. I am well aware of the fact that some of my beach reads are probably a fourth grade reading level, with a Guided Reading Level of Q, 820L, and DRA of 40. I may not always be challenged as a reader, but it is still fun to sip my trenta Passion Tango unsweetened iced tea and enjoy a book simply for the fun of reading.

One question that parents often ask teachers is how to choose the best children’s books for their child to read. The answer to this question can vary by age or grade, but one thing is certain: to help your children improve their reading skills, you want them reading books that are at their appropriate reading level. Books that are at their instructional reading level ensure that your child is being challenged appropriately without the reading being too difficult. When children spend time reading or being read to , they improve their phonemic awareness, vocabulary, comprehension, and fluency , as well as their cognitive development, concentration, creativity, and social and emotional development . They also make noticeable academic gains. In fact, research shows that there is a strong correlation between how much a child reads or is read to and his or her acquisition of words , and this leads to greater performance on standardized tests .
How do you determine your child’s reading level and find appropriate leveled books that your child will find interesting? There are tools and sites that can help with this, and the following guidance can help you navigate finding books that are “just right” for your child.
What are reading levels and why are they used?
A reading level is a scale-based measurement of where a child is reading instructionally. They are used to help teachers and schools provide the appropriate reading materials, lessons, and supports for students, as well as to help children select books that they can read on their own that will appropriately challenge them. Reading levels can be a better measurement for choosing books than reading books by grade level or age because developing reading skills is a continuum , and children develop these skills at different rates.
How do you determine a child’s reading level, and why do these levels differ?
Schools use a variety of assessments to measure a student’s academic performance and growth in reading. Formal assessments, like standardized tests, are norm-based and give a percentile measure for how a child compares to others in the same age range. Some also give reading levels by grade. For example, a child reading at the 90th percentile scored better on the assessment than 90% of same-aged peers that took the same test. And a child that scored at a grade 3.5 is reading at a mid-3rd grade level. These tests are also a diagnostic tool that address specific skills in reading. Informal assessments include quick screeners and progress-monitoring. These are used by individual schools to help determine a child’s reading level and specific academic needs so they can be placed in the appropriate guided reading group. These assessments depend on the curriculum utilized by an individual school or district, and the levels can vary. The results of these assessments are for school use and are not norm-referenced.
Many formal assessments give a Lexile level to determine an individual student’s reading ability. The Lexile Framework uses a scientific approach to reading and measures the difficulty level of a text as well as a student’s reading ability on a scale. This framework measurement helps readers choose books by their Lexile level. Another scaled measure of readability is the ATOS, which was designed by Renaissance Reading to level their Accelerated Reader books. The ATOS scale levels books by grade level, so books with a level 4.1 are written for students with a reading level comparable to that of a student in the first month of 4th grade.
Schools may also rely on different research-based reading programs or assessments to determine a child’s reading level. They all use slightly different leveling systems. For example, The Development Reading Assessment (DRA) scores students on a range from 1-80, Reading A-Z and Fountas & Pinnell assign levels from A-Z (though these levels don’t fully align after level J), and Reading Recovery uses numbered levels from 1-40. The assessment or program that an individual teacher or school uses doesn’t make a difference as long as teachers use a consistent measurement within their class. Teachers use reading levels to group their students, identify those that need additional interventions, and track their progress. The leveling scale used can change year to year or teacher to teacher.
How do reading levels correlate to grade levels or to other leveled reading programs?
Due to the variety of assessments and measurements available, knowing your child’s reading level and how that level compares to grade level text can be confusing. Fortunately, there are resources and conversion charts to help with this. The first step is to talk with your child’s teacher to find out what reading measurement is used and what level books your child should be reading. Once you have an indication of your child’s reading level, then you can search for books based on the information you have. A librarian can also help you identify books that are at the appropriate level for your child. To see how reading levels match up between various programs and assessment scales, you can find reading level correlation charts for most curriculum or assessments being used. There are reading level grade charts for Lexile levels , F&P reading levels , Reading Recovery levels, ATOS book levels , Reading A-Z texts, Scholastic guided reading levels, Follett levels, or a conversion chart that shows multiple leveling systems and grade level ranges. There is some controversy around using instructional leveling systems, particularly when they are used too strictly and limit a child’s access to grade-level texts by allowing them to get “stuck” at a lower instructional reading level. Leveling systems should never be used to restrict what books kids are given to read or exposed to, but rather as a starting point. The goal should always be to provide appropriate scaffolding so that children can stretch their skills and get to grade-level if they’re currently below.
What are recommended books based on my child’s reading level?

Most Popular Accelerated Reader (AR) Books by Grade
High School
Did you know you can search our catalog by grade, interest level, or book level?
What is Interest Level (IL)?
Interest level is based on a book's content including theme, characterization, and plot. The interest level attached to the book indicates age group appropriateness. Interest level designations reflect the judgment of the book's publisher and the professionals at Renaissance Learning. We group content appropriateness into these categories: LG = Lower Grades (K-3); MG = Middle Grades (4-8); MG+ = Upper Middle Grades (6 and up); and UG = Upper Grades (9-12). Most MG+ books are marketed as YA (Young Adult) for Interest Level. However, the final decision as to whether the content of a specific book is appropriate for a particular student is the responsibility of school librarians, teachers, and parents.
What is ATOS Book Level (BL)?
ATOS Book Levels are reported using the ATOS readability formula and represent the difficulty of the text. For example, a book level of 4.5 means the text could likely be read independently by a student whose reading skills are at the level of a typical fourth grader during the fifth month of school. (Of course the content may or may not be appropriate for a fourth grader which is why we also use Interest Levels.).
What is a Lexile® measure?
A Lexile measure represents the complexity of a text, such as a book or article. Lexile measures are expressed as numeric measures followed by an “L” (for example, 850L), and are placed on the Lexile scale. The Lexile scale is a developmental scale for measuring reader ability and text complexity, ranging from below 200L for beginning readers and beginning-reader materials to above 1600L for advanced readers and materials. Values displayed as Lexile® measures that are not followed by an “L” are estimates of Lexile text measures based on a study conducted by MetaMetrics® using ATOS Book Levels and are not certified Lexile measures.
The approximate levels for each grade are as follows: Kindergarten to 1st grade from 0-530, 2nd grade from 420-650, 3rd grade from 620-820, 4th grade from 740-940, 5th grade from 830-1030, 6th to 8th grade from 1010-1205 and 9th to 12th grade from 1050-1605.
What is Accelerated Reader (AR)?
Accelerated Reader (AR) is a web-based tool used to monitor and manage students' reading practice. Students' reading comprehension is assessed. Students then read books of their choice within their reading comfort level. The more students practice reading, the more accomplished they become! After reading a book, the student takes an online quiz about the book's content.
Want to search for books with a particular AR or Lexile? Just include “Accelerated Reader” or “Lexile” in your search along with your desired level.
For example:
Accelerated reader 4.5
Or, use the quick links above.
The full catalog of AR quizzes is searchable at AR BookFinder. For more information, please read Parent's Guide to Accelerated Reader online document.
4 Ways to Easily Find Books at the Right Reading Level
This post may contain affiliate links.
Sharing is caring!
One of the questions I hear all the time is “How can I identify the grade level of books?” It can seem confusing and complicated trying to find books at the right reading level.
Thankfully, you do not need a teaching degree to identify the grade level of a book!
I think it is important to note that the grade level of a particular book should serve only as a guideline. Don’t get so caught up in matching the book grade level to your child’s grade level that you create stress – for you and your child!
Think of it like Goldilocks. You want a book that is ‘just right’, not too easy or too hard.
If the book is too easy , beginning readers will not learn and practice new decoding strategies. Advanced readers will not learn new vocabulary or explore different literary themes.
If the book is too hard , students will get frustrated. No good comes from a frustrated reader. Kids need to have positive experiences reading so that they will become lifelong readers.
Easily Find Books at the Right Reading Level
Scholastic Book Wizard
Scholastic Book Wizard is how I determine grade level for the majority of the books in our home library. Just enter the title or scan the bar code on the back of the book and information will pop up on the screen.
This website tells you the grade level equivalent, the lexile level, and the DRA level. It also suggests other books, so it can be a great tool to find new favorites.
This is the strategy I use for choosing books for my kids when they are not with me.
Five Finger Rule
This method is incredibly simple. It requires no technology or special skills.
Just open the book to a random page and ask your child to try to read it out loud. If they can read the majority of it with little to no help, then it is ‘just right’.
Many teachers call this strategy the five-finger rule. With the five-finger rule, a child is asked to hold up a finger each time they encounter a word they are unable to read.
If they hold up five fingers before the end of the page, the book is likely too hard.
Apply this strategy with a grain of salt though, especially if you have nonfiction fans. Long Latin scientific names can be difficult even for adults to pronounce!
This is my preferred strategy when my kids are with me.
Goodreads.com
Goodreads.com is great for finding book suggestions for a grade-level range.
It is a little tricky to determine an exact grade level, but it can usually be narrowed down into a range, such as 2nd – 4th grade. An online search for ‘Goodreads’ plus whatever grade level you want will turn up lists of popular titles for that grade.
The best part of Goodreads is the reviews. Reading reviews from other parents and students can be really important when your child’s reading level surpasses their age. It helps me identify adult content before assigning the book.
Goodreads also allows you to keep a running list of books you would like to read. I love this feature because it makes putting together my library list quick and easy. Goodreads will also suggest additional books based on the titles you selected.
Lexile Level
It is difficult for homeschoolers to determine their exact lexile level because it can only be officially determined through a few specific tests. These tests can be hard to access for homeschoolers, and in my opinion, are not worth the cost or hassle.
You do not need to know your child’s exact lexile score to find appropriate books because there is a good bit of overlap within grade levels and scores. For example, a lexile score of 500 spans 3 grade levels.
I find this lexile-to-grade correspondence chart to be very helpful. It lets me know that any book with a score of 480 to 985 is likely to be a good fit with a third grader.
When my kids were younger, I used the Lexile level strategy the most before the school year began when I was planning our reading books for the year.
I used Goodreads to make a list of possible book selections and then scheduled them through the year based on their Lexile level – lowest to highest. This ensured that the books were getting more difficult throughout the year.
I also used the Lexile level when ordering new books online. Many retailers list the Lexile level in book descriptions.
Finding the Right Reading Level Tips:
Don’t get locked into a specific grade level. If your child reads exceptionally well for his or her age let them move on to more challenging books. Just be careful to search for books that do not have adult themes.
If your child struggles with reading, let them have success with books intended for younger kids. That success will encourage them to not give up.
It is okay for your child to occasionally read books that are too easy. My daughter returned often to her beloved Beverly Cleary books. She loved those books for years and I am glad I didn’t stop her from reading them. Sometimes books can feel like old friends.
I hope these tips help you choose books at the right reading level for your kids!

How To Identify Your Children’s Reading Levels + Which Books to Read
Want to know how to get your kids excited about reading? It starts with choosing appropriate books for their level. Here’s what you need to know about how to identify reading levels for kids!
How to Identify a Child’s Reading Level & Which Books Are Best for Each Reading Level
Are you looking for someone to explain reading levels in plain English?
Like, how you identify your child’s reading level and what they mean from the schools?
Some systems grade with numbers, while others are letters and scores. It’s no wonder it’s confusing.
I struggled with this too. I wanted to get my kids books that they could easily read but I didn’t understand what the levels meant and how to choose a book based on those. After lots of research and trial and error, I’ve finally cracked the code(s).
I’m here to answer all your questions so you can feel confident in understanding your child’s reading abilities and can continue to help them grow as readers.
By the time you are done reading this you will understand:
What leveled reading is and why it’s used
The 4 major reading level systems
How you can identify your children’s reading levels
What level your child should be at based on their age and grade
And how to help them choose an appropriately leveled book that nurtures their love of reading
Let’s demystify these systems and help you gain confidence in helping your child improve their reading skills.
What is leveled reading and why is it used?
Reading is a skill that is developed over time. As your child is learning to read they need reading material that they can decode to help gain confidence in their reading skills.
This is where leveled reading comes into play. Leveled reading breaks down how difficult a particular book is and where a child’s reading ability is. This way they are given books and individualized reading instruction that help them become better readers.
While reading levels can indicate if a child is below grade level, on grade level, or above grade level, the most important job these levels provide is to help a teacher develop a good strategy and plan to improve that child’s reading skills.
I think the biggest takeaway is that your child’s reading level does not determine their intelligence or even how successful they will be in school. Instead, reading levels help teachers and homeschooling parents determine the best strategies to help your child succeed.
How to Identify Your Children’s Reading Levels
Most children who attend school sit down one on one with their teacher multiple times a year so that the teacher can identify your child’s reading level. The teacher has the child read books from gradually increasing reading levels.
While the child is reading, the teacher takes into account how fluently and accurately the child reads, as well as their comprehension level.
To put it another way:
Fluency means the child reads the text without many mistakes and can read it fluidly.
Comprehension is how much the child is understanding from what they are reading.
A child who reads a book very fluently, without mistakes, can still not truly grasp what that book was about.
That lack of comprehension means that the book contains ideas, sentence structure, or vocabulary that is too difficult for them to understand and decipher. They would do better and enjoy reading more at a lower reading level.
How can you identify your child’s reading level at home?
Some websites advise parents to do an unofficial reading level assessment at home by making a running record. But I don’t think a running record is necessary at home. It’s overly complicated to just get an idea of your child’s reading skills.
A running record is basically making a copy of the page that your child is going to read and mark down anywhere your child makes a mistake. A teacher would use this to identify particular reading struggles to give them a more complete picture of the child’s reading abilities.
Instead, what I suggest is choosing a variety of books that hover right around their level. Choose books that are slightly below what you perceive your child’s reading level to be. Also, pick out books on their level as well as one or two steps above their reading level. This way they have material they can easily master as well as books that will challenge them.
I found this really great list at Scholastic that outlines books based on Guided Reading Levels (I’ll get more in-depth about the different reading level systems in just a minute).
Here is a list of my favorite books to use to gauge and practice reading levels at home:
A-C – Bob Beginner Books 1 (you can’t beat them),
D-F – David Board Books (Level D), Go, Dog, Go (Level E and a classic we all may remember from our own childhood), Pete the Cat: Too Cool for School (Level F)
G-I – Biscuit book series (Level G), Big Shark, Little Shark (Level I), Elephant & Piggie series by Mo Willems
J-M – Fly Guy series (level J), P inkalicious Series (level K), The Book with No Pictures (level L), The Day the Crayons Quit (level M)
N-P – Stellaluna (level N), Nancy Clancy series (level O), Horton Hears a Who! (Level P)
R-S – Shiloh (Level R), Matilda (Level S)
T-V – How to Train your Dragon (Level T), Bud, Not Buddy (Level U), Holes (Level V)
W-Y – Walk Two Moons (Level W), The Little Prince (Guided Level X), Echo (Level Y)
In the Bob Books, your child should read a couple of the books as they progressively get more challenging. In other early reader short books, your child can either read the entire book or read a few pages.
For longer books, one page is usually enough to get an idea if your child is mastering fluency and comprehension.
To gauge fluency, keep a simple tally count of mistakes as they are reading and notice if they are able to read with inflection and emotion. I keep track of mistakes by putting a clipboard on my lap under the table and making a small dot for each mistake. I make sure to do this completely out of the view of my child. The reason is simple: I don’t want them shutting down or losing the joy of reading simply because they see me marking mistakes.
Remember, the goal is to build a love for reading!
To evaluate their comprehension , you should pre-read the selection you are giving your child and have some ideas of a few questions you can ask them once they finish reading the selection.
When they get to a point that they are challenged but still comprehending with good fluency, you have found their approximate reading level.
At home, they should have access to books that are one or two levels below their reading level. This builds confidence for budding readers.
The 4 Major Reading Level Systems
As if this whole reading level thing wasn’t confusing enough, there isn’t just one reading level system. In fact, there are 4 major reading level systems, which different school districts use.
The 4 major reading level systems are guided reading level, accelerated reader, developmental reading assessment, and Lexile measurement levels.
Let’s break these different systems down so you can understand the one that your child’s school uses, or one that you may want to adopt to track your child’s progress.
Guided Level Reading
This is the system that I used to make the list of books for you to do your home reading assessment above.
It is also one of the most popular systems through school districts. So it only makes sense to go over it first.
Guided Level Reading was developed by Irene Fountas and Gay Su Pinnell. It uses an alphabet system of dividing books into appropriate levels. Level A are the easiest books and they get progressively more challenging until you reach the most difficult books at Level Z.
For each grade level, there are multiple different reading levels so that as your child progresses they can get gradually more challenging books.
Children are tested on level by reading a benchmark book. That means a book that they have never read before is what you can use to determine their fluency and comprehension. The list of books I gave you above would be examples of benchmark books.
This system is popular because it gives a clear vision of where the child is with their reading skills but it isn’t as obvious to the child whether they are ahead, behind or on target with their peers. So it can be better for the child’s confidence and can reduce bullying or comparison.
This is by far my favorite system because once you know what letters correspond to which grade, it is very easy to understand.
Accelerated Reader
Accelerated reader is the system I remember from childhood. Books are based on grade level with a decimal system giving each grade a scale of 10. So what does that look like?
A book could be leveled at 1.8 meaning it’s a first grade level book but the difficulty is moving towards a second grade level book. The biggest difference between Accelerated Reader system versus the other systems is that it has a computer program that quizzes children on the books they read.
This can be problematic for children struggling with reading. Quizzes can cause anxiety even in young children, and cause a negative association with reading.
For that reason, I am not the biggest fan of this particular system, but it is still very popular in the school system.
Developmental Reading Assessment
This system also starts by testing a child by reading a benchmark book. Remember, a benchmark book is a book that helps test your child’s fluency and comprehension.
Developmental Reading Assessment (also called DRA) is a system of leveled books and tests created by Pearson (one of the most popular textbook and educational tools in the US).
I think this system is a little more confusing because it starts with a reading level labeled level A then immediately switches to numbers. So very beginning readers start with leveled A, then it switches to levels 1-80 with 80 being the most difficult.
This is also a very popular choice with school districts, so you may be used to seeing this.
This system ranks books and reading materials based on readability and how difficult it is to read them.
Lexile Measurement Levels
If your child’s reading levels look something like “200L”, then they are using the Lexile Measures system.
This system does not start with a benchmark book but with a standardized test. This system ranks books and reading materials based on readability and how difficult it is to read them.
Levels for the Lexile Measuring system start with BR for beginner readers and then transition into a number like 700L for more advanced readers. Let’s be honest…this makes this system a little more confusing for us parents.
This is a less popular option for schools, but a few do use it. So I want to cover it in case you fall in this group.
What Levels Should Your Child be Reading Based on Grade?
Overall, reading levels are supposed to help with small reading groups and interventions if necessary. They also help a teacher to develop tailored instruction based on each child’s reading level.
How do you know if your child is reading on grade level based on their reading level?
I am going to break this down by grade and I am going to cover all 4 reading level systems: guided reading level (GRL), accelerated reader (AR), developmental reading assessment (DRA), and Lexile measurement levels (Lexile).
Then you can compare your child’s reading level with the reading levels for their grade to get a better understanding of where your child is with learning to read.
You can also notice that for all the reading level systems, except for accelerated reader, reading levels overlap between grades. So, for example, GRL reading level S could be for fourth grade or fifth grade.
Remember, your child may fall outside of these boundaries – they are just general guidelines.
Kindergarten Reading Levels
AR: 0.1-0.9
Lexile: BR40l-230L
First Grade Reading Levels
AR: 1.0-1.9
Second Grade Reading Levels
AR: 2.0-2.9
Lexile: 107L-1080L
Third Grade Reading Levels
AR: 3.0-3.9
Lexile: 415L-760L
Fourth Grade Reading Levels
AR: 4.0-4.9
Lexile: 635L-950L
Fifth Grade Reading Levels
AR: 5.0-5.9
Lexile: 770L-1080L
Sixth Grade Reading Levels
AR: 6.0-6.9
Lexile: 855L-1165L
What to do if Your Child is Reading Below Their Grade Level
If you are told your child is reading below grade level, it can be a gut punch. So what do you if your child is reading below grade level?
First, don’t panic. Children develop their reading skills at different stages, some children are early readers and some children take a little longer to get there. Just like some children walk early and some children walk late.
Next, just continue encouraging reading at home by reading books together and discussing what you’re reading. You can also continue to provide them reading materials they can comfortably read and enjoy.
Positivity and encouragement, along with shared reading time will go a long way!
How to Help Your Child Choose a Book to Read
So now that you know what your child’s reading level is and what that means, how can you help your child choose a book to read?
The number one factor in helping your child choose a book is to pick something they are interested in, even if it is above or below their level.
You want to foster a love for reading because it’s enjoyable. With time and practice, the skills will come! Of course, if you are truly concerned, speaking with your child’s teacher to come up with a game plan may be helpful as well.
The Takeaway
At this point, I hope you feel more confident in understanding the different reading level systems and how they are used to help your child to become a better reader.
Remember, your child’s score is not an indicator of how successful they will be and all children develop reading skills at different ages.
Just continue to nurture a love for reading with your child by providing them books they are interested in and spending time reading to them and with them. You’ve got this!

My Child Has an Accelerated Reader or Lexile Reading List: How Do I Find a Book?
UPDATED AUGUST 23, 2023
If your child has been assigned the task of finding a book from their Accelerated Reader or Lexile reading lists, you might wonder what those terms mean.
After a teacher tests a child for their reading level, the teacher will assign children a reading level that will be shared with their parent or caregiver. Parents or caregivers can then help their child choose books based upon that reading level.
I found the Library's Novelist K-8 Plus electronic resource to be the ideal source for books when finding books by reading level. Most schools use either Accelerated Readers or Lexiles .
Accelerated Reader or Lexile Reading Levels
Novelist K-8 Plus defines the two reading levels:
" Lexiles are a measure of how difficult a book is to comprehend. By matching the Lexile level for a reader with the Lexile level of a particular book, you can ensure that the young reader will have a successful reading experience."
" Accelerated Reader (AR) levels are also used to find the right books for a reader based on grade range (Interest Level) and text difficulty (Book Level, also called ATOS)."
As the reading levels are assigned, teachers expect that through consistent reading practice, reading levels will rise steadily.
Using the Reading Level to Find a Book
Novelist K-8 Plus has very straightforward directions for finding the ideal book for your child. For either type, use "Advanced Search." Here are a couple of examples:
Go to Advanced Search
Scroll to the Limit Your Results section, limit by Lexile Range or Score (Novelist will include books 100 points below and 50 points above your child's Lexile measure)
Limit by Grade Level.
Click on search
If you don't limit by Grade Level, you can limit to age (Ages 0-8, Ages 9-12, Teen.)
Scroll through the results to find books that are of interest in your child's reading level
Scroll to the Limit Your Results section, choose Lower Grades (LG) (K-3)
Enter the limiter, Accelerated Reader (ATOS) Book Level
Once you have your results list, you will notice of few things about each book listed that will be useful when finding books that your child likes:
Check the Library Catalog: Use this to find if your local library has a copy of the book. If not, you can always request or place a hold on the book from another library.
Title Read-alikes or Author Read-alikes or Series Read-alikes: This useful feature will allow you to choose other titles or authors or series that are similar to what your child likes. Since children at this age like familiar characters or series, this is quite a useful feature!
Other Useful Features
Find the menu at the top of the page. You will find additional useful features of this electronic resource:
Browse By: You search by genre, appeal or award winners. According to Novelist K-8 Plus , appeal "helps readers determine why they enjoy a book and whether a particular book will fit their style. You can use appeal to find books based on the type of character you like, the pacing or tone, or even the style of illustration. Themes are popular and recurring plot elements found in fiction. Themes describe the overall plot, while appeal terms describe the storyline, tone, writing style, and other aspects of a book’s content."
How Do I: Answers questions about various features in Novelist K-8 Plus .

Real 'Mom and Dad's Swinger Party' Book for Kids?
The book was published by a canadian-based author, comedian and youtuber., nick hardinges, published june 25, 2024.
About this rating
This "children's book" really exists, but its content was satirical and it was written and published for adults, not children.
On June 24, 2024, an X user posted a video of a woman reading aloud a purported kids' book titled "Mom and Dad's Swinger Party" and suggested the publication proved the queer community is "filled with pedophiles."
Other X users replying to the clip appeared to believe the title was a legitimate children's book , with one writing : "This is disgusting. What would possess someone to write and publish this?"
Similar posts appeared elsewhere on X in June 2024, with one captioned : "They're going after the kids."
Together, they had amassed more than 640,000 views at the time of this writing.
The claim also appeared in numerous X posts in June 2023, where one user wrote : "Unreal. This is a "childrens" book explaining "Mom & Dad's Swinger Parties". If this isn't grooming a child into adult perversions…I don't know what is. It's probably available at your local school library!"
However, the book was created by Brad Gosse , a comedian, author and YouTuber based in Toronto, Canada, who writes satirical, "dark humor" books in the style of kids' books.
The last page of the publication was shown in the video, where it stated the content was satirical, as follows:
I have over 100 humor books and several strange coloring books available on Amazon. My humor books cover a wide range of topics and styles, from dumb jokes and puns to satirical takes on current events. Whatever your sense of humor, you'll find something to love or hate in my collection.
Gosse's website contained more than 120 children's-style books. It stated: "He loves to entertain people whether it be through his jokes or his books. He started publishing his 'children's books' in 2019. He has published over 120 dark humor books so far."
He also branded himself a "professional troll" in his X bio , where he said: "If you're triggered I'm thrilled."
The video being shared online in June 2024 was originally posted by TikTok user @jenjenivivereads, whose caption read: "Ive [sic] edited this post to say that this is an ADULTS parody book. Because the level of hate im [sic] getting right now is ridiculous."
Some X users who shared the clip in June 2024 later added they had discovered the book was satirical.
For background, here is why we sometimes write about satire/humor.

Did Trump say Hitler 'did a lot of good things?'
During the CNN Presidential Debate Thursday night, President Joe Biden attacked former President Donald Trump for saying that Adolf Hitler “did a lot of good things” while talking about the violent 2017 rally of white supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia that inspired his 2020 presidential run.
This quip from Biden came while he noted that Trump said supportive things about the Charlottesville rioters, including that there were “very fine people on both sides.” Trump accused Biden of making his criticism up.
More: Presidential debate live updates: Biden, Trump end debate with accusations, name calling
Trump allegedly said this statement about Hitler during a 2018 trip to Europe to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, according to a report in the Guardian and the book, “Frankly, We Did Win This Election,” by Wall Street Journal’s Michael Bender.
Trump denied this comment during an interview with Bender after he left office.
According to Bender’s book, Trump’s comments came while his then-chief of staff, John Kelly, was briefing him on World War 1 history and reportedly told the former president that “you cannot ever say anything supportive of Adolf Hitler. You just can’t.”
Kelly also shared this statement from Trump with CNN correspondent Jim Sciutto’s book The Return of Great Powers, published in Spring 2024.
