HOW TO FIND “JUST RIGHT” BOOKS - Here is a way to find books that match the color level that your students may be reading at.
- First, Google “Scholastic Book Wizard.”
- Type in a book title in the white bar and click on the red “Find Books” box.
- Click on DRA level on margin. (Although I have several factors I look at to color-level my books, this is an approximate way to do it.)
- The DRA level that approximately matches the color is:
- Green- DRA level 2-6
- One Blue- DRA level 8-12
- Two Blue- DRA level 14-16
- One Red- DRA level 18-20
- Two Red- DRA level 24-28
- White- DRA level 30-38
- Black- DRA level 40
- Orange- DRA level 50
- Purple- DRA level 60
