Reading does not begin or end with a grade level. The Reading Library follows what a child is actually ready to learn next.
Pre-Readers
Listening, sounds, letters, rhyme, oral language, and the building blocks that come before reading words.
Beginning & Emerging
Blending, decoding, phonics patterns, heart words, accuracy, and growing fluency.
Reading to Learn
Fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, longer words, and reading for meaning.
Advanced Readers
Complex texts, writing, deeper thinking, organization, interpretation, and independence.
