Guided Reading Level J
Level J approximately marks the beginning of second grade; however, advanced first graders will already be reading booksat this level. Other children, especially if they have not had much reading experience over the summer, will need easier books. Texts at this level and the next allow children to orchestrate their reading strategies on a greater variety of texts, consolidating and extending what they know. Stories are longer and more complex, although they still deal with subjects of interest to young children. Most concepts and themes are familiar, from either personal experience or previous experiencie with books. Therea are a variety of texts -nonfiction, folktales, realistic stories, and more.
