Questions? • How were these books leveled ? • They were leveled using Fountas and Pinnell, MatchingBooks to Readers, p 83-85. Also, some of our books have already been field tested and leveled by the Reading Recovery Council of North America. • 2. Why are there only 30 books in the kit ? • The purpose of LIS is to accelerate the children within a 6 week time frame. The teacher should follow the child so as not to hinder the child’s progress. • 3. Other Questions?
