Best Children's Books for:
Guided Reading Level F / DRA Level 10
Below are the best early reader books that are written at Guided
Reading Level F / DRA Level 10 books. (It's the same level--just some
schools use the
one book leveling system and others use the other.) In general, kids read books on this level in first grade.
(Ideally, first graders start at level C-D / DRA 4-6 and keep progressing in reading to end of levels I-J / DRA 16. However, every child is different, so check with your child's teacher
to determine his/her exact level). In our
experience, you can't just buy any books written at this level.
Because word choice is so restricted, many books written at this level
are dreadfully dull or super awkward. But not the books below. They all
pass our 'teacher test' AND kids really like them too. :)
