Leveled Reading

By the end of the Year 4 school year, a student will probably reach around Level 26. However each child is different, and students progress at different rates. What is important is that the student reaches their potential, and has plenty of exposure to literature at their own reading level. See the Beacon Media Primary Literacy page for a range of Leveled stories. Use the following biographies for reading practice, as well as a range of excellent chapter books.
