1. Students’ age / Reading development level: Beginners: - mostly guided reading - use decodable texts in this stage - decodable : words containing the phonetic code the

student has already learned

Intermediate - combination of independent reading & guided reading - practice independent reading to build skills

Advanced - independent, silent reading

Remedial - primarily guided reading - extinguish improper techniques and build correct skills

Appropriate Reading Levels materials Appropriate Reading Levels materials

A. Independent Level: - materials students read with few errors- ideal for advanced level / silent reading

B. Instructional Level: - students read with some errors with challenges for skill building- ideal for guided level where teacher monitors students reading rate

C. Frustration Level :- materials are too difficult- reading level too advanced for students
