Haven't seen him present, but it seems Richard Trout would be a perfect guest
author for Pond Creek Schools.
And you think it's been a long day!

> Hello,
>
> I posted an email requesting help with leveling books a la Fountas and
> Pinnell that are not listed in their books on book leveling.
>
> It seems that many people are trying to do this same thing and not having
> much luck. My school has decided for now to level the books that we can and
> not do the others. My principal seems to think we can sit down as a team and
> do this later. I am not so sure. We were only trying to level our sets of
> classroom novels,we call them our trade book sets. I was not going to level
> our entire collection.
>
> Here are the responses that had somehelpful hints. As I said earlier most
> of the responses were people who also need assistance.
>
> Good luck all.
>
> This site has a good explanation of lexiles http://www.lexile.com/faq.asp .
> It is from NC and is the FAQ page - very informative.
>
> I use Fountas & Pinnell also when I'm helping kids find Just Right
> books. At one point my principal passed on a web site that allowed
> you to enter titles to find some books that you couldn't find in F&P.
> Unfortunately, I don't have it here at home, but when I did a google
> search using "leveling books" I got several possibilities. You might
> give it a try.
>
> We are also in that process. Currently we are reviewing each book and
> assigning a level. We are using Fountas and Pinnell's Matching Books to
> Readers and Leveled Books for Readers 3-6 and Pinnell's Scholastic
> Guided Reading Program Teacher's Guide. This is incredibly time
> consuming. I would love to get some help on this giant project. Please
> post a hit on your responses or email me privately.

> I often use the Reading Counts portion of Scholastic's website.
> You can often get the level there. The URL is long, but I've posted it
