Guided Reading Levels
Saline Area Schools uses the Fountas & Pinnell Reading Leveling System. This assessment checks your child's fluency; which is how well they read the words, as well as their comprehension; what they retain and understand. The books in our classroom are leveled based on Guided Reading Level, which is what Fountas and Pinnell use. The guided reading level is based on criteria such as vocabulary, sentence complexity, book and print features, text structure, themes, and ideas. Students will be assessed through the month of September and will know their guided reading level for the remainder of the school year. They will be assessed as the year goes on and be able to choose books from the classroom library at their level.
