Guided Reading Levels
Saline Area Schools is now using the Fountas & Pinnell Reading Leveling System. This assessment not only checks your child's fluency; which is how well they read the words, but also their comprehension; what they retain and understand. The books in myclassroom are leveled based on Guided Reading Level, which is what Fountas and Pinnell use. The guided reading level is based on criteria such as vocabulary, sentence complexity, book and print features, text structure,themes,and ideas. Students will be assessed through the month of September and will know their guided reading level. This information will be communicated to parents in October.
