Book Websites:
http://bookwizard.scholastic.com/tbw/homePage.do
This is a helpful website from Scholastic. To begin, select a DRA level or
Guided Reading Level. If you choose Guided Reading Level, you will have to
refer to the Reading Level Chart to transfer the letter to a DRA number.
For example, a Guided Reading level M would be a DRA level 28. Then, type
in the title or author of the book. Typically, this website only levels
Scholastic brand books.
http://home.comcast.net/~ngiansante/
This is a leveled book list website. By clicking on the grade level you will
find a list of books that are “just right” for your son/daughter. Just use
the Reading Level Chart to transfer the Guided Reading Level letter to a DRA
number. This website also allows you to search for books by title and
author. Please keep in mind that this list is subjective and does not
include every book.
Note: There are so many books
out there, it is nearly impossible for any one website to have levels for
every book. You may also find discrepancies in the levels between websites.
