Quick Reading Assessment

If you feel your student reads above their grade level, we recommend taking this quick reading assessment to help select a reading level when purchasing a Level A, B, or C package. Since our Readers are integrated with our Language Arts program, we recommend that you choose the same level of Language Arts as Readers. Please note that many young students read at a higher level than their written Language Arts ability. We recommend choosing the lower level of the two until their abilities catch up. You may also look through the Scope & Sequence and the 3-Week Samples for our Language Arts Instructor's Guides before you make a final decision on which level to choose. Feel free to use the assignments in the 3-week samples as a way to evaluate which Language Arts level matches your student's skills.

Ask your child to read the following lists out loud. We encourage you to be sure they are reading fluidly through the lists and not just decoding the words. Once you've picked a level, have them try the sample pages below:
