Leveled Reading is a system that is used to track children’s reading progression and help find books that correspond with that level.
Level P texts challenge a reader to take on diverse cultural and thematic ideas throughout the story. Fiction stories begin to make use of suspense or more fantastical elements. Readers read from a wide range of genres and different lengths of texts.
