Summary: Wonderful Book To Use For Leveling A Bookroom!
Review: This book is another great book from Fountas & Pinnell and it is very much like the other Guided Reading book but has more in-depth information. I personally used this book when I was leveling an entier bookroom for the District of Hagerman, New Mexico. This book also came up through conversations at a workshop that dealt with what to do while you are doing Guided Reading. Guided Reading is a wonderful way to give individual instruction to a small group of students at their level of reading. At this time many concepts and strategies can be taught in a short period of time. This book also has a great resource in the back which includes hundreds of books that are already leveled for you! Anyone interested in Guided Reading should buy this wonderful book.

Summary: A must have for teachers using guided reading
Review: This is a great resource for teachers that use guided reading in their classroom. I teach first and second grade and this has been a big help for me. It saves time when your trying to level books. I did not receive most of my classroom collection of books until after school started. I was able to quickly look up the titles and start using them for instruction. Fountus and Pinnell have great ideas for literacy.
