The library is committed to providing resources to help with the education of your child.
Beginning Reader Books
- Leveled Readers
- Easy Readers
- A (Red) - Pre-emergent books are for a brand new reader. These books contain large print, few words per page and large pictures. Many of these readers include a list of the high-frequency words used in the books.
- B (Green) - Emergent books typically have more text than pre-emergent levels but still feature large print and plenty of white space. Emergent readers have more text to decode and a more complex storyline to follow.
- C (Yellow) - Books at the early fluent level have a smaller type and fewer or smaller pictures. These books also have a more complicated storyline.
- D (Blue) - Readers at this stage have successfully moved from early learning to read to reading independently. They are reading easy chapter books that are located in the juvenile fiction collection and will soon progress to other books in this collection.
