5. Before We Get Started You Should Know… Leveled texts are good for readers. Students should read a variety of genres on a variety of platforms. Allowing children to have access to their reading data, including reading level, is important. Students want to be accountable. Life-long love of reading is great & something we should strive to share BUT… Building excellent readers is our MOST important job.
