This variety of leveled readers will help my students read books at their individual reading levels. This collection includes books that will reach every child's interest, including both fiction and nonfiction titles. Our school uses the Fountas and Pinnell reading assessment to ensure all students are reading at the correct reading level. This way, students have the opportunity to choose books of their individual interests while working on the challenging 5th grade common core ELA standards. Please help me allow students to work on 5th grade level standards in books of their choice! If funded, these books will be added to my personal classroom library for students to use during our literacy block.
