Book List: Levels K through L

 

Back to home:

These titles are listed on the Rapid City Public Library inventory, visit or check their site online for availability at www.rapidcitylibrary.org.   Your child has a reading level that they can read by themselves, their independent level.  This is the level they should be checking out and that is usually one level lower than their current guided reading group.  You can ask your child’s teacher what levels they would recommend for your child.
