If you're unsure which reading level is best for your child, try our Quick Reading Assessment to help make your decision. Since our Readers are integrated with the Language Arts program, we recommend selecting the same level of Language Arts and Readers to ensure a consistent learning experience.
Choosing the Right Level
It's important to select the right Language Arts level for your child’s current skills. Many younger students may be ready to read at a higher level than their writing abilities, so we suggest choosing the lower level until their skills catch up. You can review the Scope & Sequence and explore the 3-Week Samples for more guidance before making your final decision.

Is this the correct Language Arts for my child?
We offer multiple Readers/Language Arts levels for our Level K-2 packages to accommodate advanced and struggling learners. Choosing a Readers/Language Arts level that is appropriate for your child will help ensure that there are no gaps in their knowledge.
If you are unsure which Readers level would be best for your child, please have them take our Quick Reading Assessment. It is very important to match the Readers level to your child’s reading ability, and the assessment will help you find the most comfortable fit for them. We encourage you to be sure that they are reading fluidly, not just decoding the words. Our goal is to help you instill a love of reading and learning in your child. If they are working too hard to decode the words, they may not enjoy the stories and the reading may become frustrating.
Please note that many young students read at a higher level than their Language Arts ability. We recommend that you look through the Scope & Sequence and the 3-Week Samples for our Language Arts Instructor's Guides before you make a final decision on which level will be best for your child.
Feel free to use the assignments in the samples as a way to test which Language Arts level will match your student's skills. If your student's Language Arts skill is slightly behind their Reading levels, you may want to consider choosing your Readers based on your student's Language Arts ability. Our Readers are engaging and fun for students of all levels!
Can I use this package with both of my children?
If your children are working at the same skill level, they can share a Language Arts program. Please note that you will need a set of the Level 2 Language Arts Activity Sheets for each additional student (one set is included with the Instructor's Guide). You may also need additional copies of the optional Explode the Code 4, 5, 6 Set and/or Wordly Wise A.
If your children are working at different skill levels, please choose a Language Arts option that is appropriate for each student.

The decision to homeschool our daughter, Alexa, was an easy one. Choosing a curriculum that worked well with her goals and schedule was a little more difficult.
