  5. Conversion Table for Reading Levels

  6. Finding Appropriate Books for the Struggling Reader Choosing the right level • Independent Level - Books that students can read on their own with no adult help • Instructional Level – Books that students can read with a little help from adults • Frustration Level - Books that are too hard

  7. Independent Level • The text is relatively easy for the reader. No more than approximately 1 in 20words are difficult for the reader • Student can read 95% of the words successfully. • Students can comprehend 80% of the content.

  8. Instructional Level • The text is challenging but manageable for the reader. No more than approximately 1 in 10 words are difficult for the reader. • Students can read 90% of the words successfully. • Students can comprehend 60-70% of the content.

  9. Frustration Level • The text is too difficult for the reader. At least 1 in 10 words are difficult for the reader. • Students can read less than 90% of the words successfully. • Students can comprehend less than 60% of the content.

  10. Richard Allington At a 99% accuracy rate, students will still make errors on about 4 or more words per page. If there are 300 pages in the book, this means they will make 1200 errors during their reading of the book—this will cause a loss of comprehension and confusion/distraction/poor understanding.

  11. Book Suggestions • What books have you used? • We will add it to our inventory and place results on the Wiki. • Thanks for your help!
