Frequently Asked Questions

Guided reading levels (Fountas and Pinnell) describe text difficulty. Level D and E texts, typical for fall of first grade, use short sentences and heavy sight-word support. Levels F and G, typical mid-year, add longer sentences and simple dialogue. Levels H and I, typical by spring, include multiple lines per page, varied sentence patterns, and richer vocabulary. Most first graders progress from level D or E to level I or J across the year.
