Hi! I've been working all year with the third grade teacher to develop a =
leveled book collection. Leveling the books is quite a task. Start with =
the Fountas & Pinnell book for K - 3 _Matching Books to Readers_, use =
scholastic catalogs, and some other catalogs, as well as the Follett one =
that can be requested. Websites - there is not one that is easy, but =
trying publishers websites, going to guided reading and searching can =
bring up some titles. Finally, if you seach the LM_NET archives for 2002, =
I had a request and responses that might help level afew more books.
Good luck!

I had a book that does just that, but I can't remember the name of it. =
Try Linworth or one of those kinds of places that does professional books. =
I think Guided Reading was in the title.

Get a guide that has the lettering system, and what the lexile scales are
within that letter. Then go onto Scholastic Reading Counts website and =
look
up each title. They list the lexile number. It is easy to fit it into =
the
lettering system.
