Is this the correct Language Arts/Reader level 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‚Äôs 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 for 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 Language Arts K 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 A, B, C Workbooks.

If your children are working at different skill levels, please choose a Language Arts option that is appropriate for each student.
