Below are the best early reader books that are written at Guided Reading Level A-E / DRA Level A-8 books. (It's the same level--just some schools use theone book leveling system and others use the other.) In general:
- Kindergarteners read books at Guided Reading Level A-C / DRA Level A-4
- First graders read books at Guided Reading Level C-E / DRA Level 4-8 in the first three months or so of first grade, and then ideally progress all the way up to level J/16 by the end of first grade. (Hit back to access those levels).
Note: Since every child is different, you might want to check with your child's teacher to determine his/her exact level.
