How to find leveled reading books on Epic
Sign on Code: muw7208
Leveled Reader: A leveled reader is a book leveled based on a child’s reading ability. By the end of kindergarten, the hope is that a child is reading at a level D independently. By the end of first grade we would like to see students reading independently at a level I to stay on level. Not all children are going to learn at the same pace, and reading is harder for some than others. Our job is to meet students where they are and help them be successful there. Epic is an amazing resource that I am seeing many of my students utilizing at home. I made this quick “How To” on finding and understanding your child’s reading level on epic.
The first thing to know is that we will discuss reading levels in F&P terms. There are many different platforms available to use in terms of a reading level but at SJS we use “F&P”. Reading levels go from A-Z, with A being the easiest and Z being the hardest. Please see the directions below to help your students find books at their reading level at home for more reading practice.
If you are having trouble finding a level your think your student is comfortable reading at and you want to utilize the program please email me and I will be happy to help. We are currently benchmarking each student individually to find his/her reading level.
