List of Popular Children's Books and Series by Fountas and Pinnell Level

As someone who has LITERALLY leveled over 10,000 books using Fountas and Pinnell's leveling system...I am pretty aware of a book's level:) My school is just implementing this year, so teachers had no background knowledge on popular books and their level. I created this guide for teachers and parents to try to choose appropriate-leveled books. I tried to find a range of genres, authors, and ensure children of color are featured as well.

After attending my son's kindergarten conference, I wanted to find a way for my middle school conferences to be as individualized and personalized as his had been.  I knew it wasn't comparing apples to apples because his teacher had 25 students to my 185.  Also, the kindergarten conference was scheduled to be approximately 15-20 minutes in length, while my drop-in conferences are 5 minutes long. I wanted to make sure my 5 minute conference with parents and guardians was focused and informative.

Find Reading resources | TPT

Learn more about reading resources

Not only is reading a core concept in the study of English language arts, but it’s also a cornerstone skill for proficiency in many other subjects (for instance, without strong reading skills, students won’t be able to solve math word problems or read through primary sources for social studies class).

If you’re a teacher or parent looking for printable and digital reading resources to help your student learn a reading concept, look no further! TPT has an extensive collection of resources, created by other teachers, that are designed to help with any need across grade levels.

Elementary students just learning to read can practice the basics with some simple, fun phonics practice activities or small-group reading centers focused around sight words. Students in middle and high school can read novels and complete hands-on, interactive assignments that build their comprehension and critical thinking skills. With plenty of TPT resources at your fingertips, you can sharpen your student's reading skills in no time.

Fun and engaging reading activities to try

Engaging reading activities can energize your students and foster a love of reading. Here are a few ideas for reading activities from our teacher-created resources that you can find on TPT and try in your classroom:

Interactive Phonics Activities

Use hands-on activities such as sorting, matching, or building words with manipulatives to help students recognize phonics patterns and learn word families.

Word Hunts

Encourage students to find specific words either in a text or around the classroom to help reinforce sight word recognition.

Reader's Theater

Bring short stories, books, poems, or plays you’re reading in class to life by assigning roles to students and having them act out scenes. This can help enhance fluency and comprehension.

Interactive Read-Alouds

Engage the class by pausing during read-alouds to discuss the story’s theme, reflect on a character’s motivations or actions, or to ask students questions.

Comparative Analysis

Explore different adaptations of the same story (book versus movie, classic version versus a modern retelling) to encourage analysis of interpretation and presentation. You can also pair texts that are similar in theme, like poems and songs.

By incorporating these (and other!) reading activities into your lesson plans, you can nurture a love for reading while enhancing comprehension, critical thinking, and communication skills.
