Book bands for guided reading
A valuable resource for teachers and schools. You can do anything, from organising the entire book stock of a school, or for those schools who have already done that, organise guided reading groups for the target area. It is a great help in helping to select books at the right level for a child, and goes into detail regarding learning opportunities for each level and the characteristics of the books that are found at each level. This version appears to be the most comprehensive to date.
