Hi everyone! I need your help once again...
My assistant principal is working on a protected book list project for our district
and asked me for some help. She is looking for a resource to use independently (at
home and at school) that will give her suggested grade levels for books. For
example, she wants to know if The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton is suitable for a 9th
grade reading list or would be more appropriate for an 11th grade one.
(Note...This administrator has a science background, so she doesn't know the plot
of most of these books.)
Is there a reputable and dependable source out there where you can simply type in
the title and author of a book, and it gives you the suggested grade and/or reading
level? I realize that this kind of information can be found in professional
journal reviews, but she is hoping for some sort of "catch-all" source that will
have all the information she will need in one place!
On another note....We are a large public high school with no access to any kind of
reading program (AR, Reading Counts, etc.) Someone had suggested we just use
those programs, but we do not use them here at our school.
I would really appreciate any help you could offer! Thanks! :)
