Optimally, students should spend 25 minutes or more each day in the “just right” zone. When you know your students’ reading levels you can get the right books in their hands at the right time. It also gives us insight into what they need to grow as readers. Factors like word count, number of different words and high-frequency words, word repetitions, sentence length, and complexity give us valuable information about students’ strengths. Without a doubt, reading levels are an important part of a comprehensive reading assessment.Ī reading-level assessment is one way to measure a student’s level of decoding and comprehension. And this is why reading levels can be great … as a place to start.
We can give students better, more personalized instruction, when we know where their skill levels stand.
So how do we ensure they receive the support they need to grow as readers? After all, our students are unique individuals coming from various backgrounds, with different strengths and weaknesses. When it comes to reading levels and reading instruction, there’s no one-size-fits-all method.
