Reading levels of many children's books

Although this is a "store" of quizzes for many children's books, I primarily use it when determining a book's reading level for students. Many books are in this database. It is helpful when setting up a library for elementary students, but also for a parent who is curious about a book their child may be reading...is it appropriate? too hard? too easy? When you search for a title, and it is in the database, you are given its reading level.

The NatGeo website presents many useful activities to make learning live and exciting apart from the great pictures that students love to look at. I am going to encourage my kids to accept one of the challenges for the Geogrphy Awareness. Would you suggest any other?

Hello Maria, I could see all the activities that can be done out of a short article. Because being an authentic material the students are led to think and talk realistically and develop all those linguistics activities. Ruth

Great, I going to put it into practice!
