Leveled library readers Students will be reading independently in leveled books this year. “A” is the easiest level and then it progresses in difficulty. These early books use a lot of Jack and Jilly words that we practice everyday, as well as pictures and repetitive patterns. Students will move to the next independent reading level at their own pace. When their teacher feels they have mastered their current level they will move to the next level of books.
