This reading level chart provides approximate correlations between major reading level systems, to help you select the best books for your child.
There are different proprietary systems that measure a child’s reading level. Systems may vary from school to school, and your child’s teacher can give you more information about the exact system they use. Individual children may score differently across systems. Consider also that grade-level ranges vary by school district and time of year.
Reading Levels: A Guide for Parents offers a helpful look at the alphabet soup of reading systems and how to make sense of them. If you don’t know your child’s reading level, there are other ways to find “just right books” for your child.
