Your reading teachers have been very busy learning all about Accelerated Reader. I want to share one thing that kids and parents might like: creating a book wish list.
Our presenters shared 2 great resources for finding books on a specific grade level, and I want to share these resources with you. I think you will find these to be very helpful in creating a list of books that you are interested in and that are on your reading level.
- What Kids Are Reading - Do you want to know what is popular with other kids your age? This website will show you which books are most read and tested on in AR. You can even filter the results by grade level, gender, reading level, state, type of book, and keyword.
- Click Create Lists of Popular Books
- Choose grade and click Add Filter
- To add more filters, click the plus sign in the white bar at the top next to Your Filters
- Save/Print results will give you a pdf of the top 25 books matching your search
- ARBookFind - Quickly search to see if a book has an AR test, reading level, how many points, or do an Advanced Search to find books of interest. Search by reading level, points, topics
- Click the Advanced Search tab
- Skip down to ATOS level and put in the reading range of books that you are comfortable reading
- Addtional Criteria - choose a topic and a subtopic to narrow down your genre
- Choose Fiction/Nonfiction and the language
- Sort by author, title, book level, or rating
- Go
- Print to create a pdf of the list
- GRIS Online Catalog - Look for books in our library that are on your reading level
- Click the Search tab and go to Study Programs
- Put your reading range in Minimum and Maximum Reading level boxes
- Decide how many points you would like the book to be worth (remember that for each point, the book should take 2 days to read)
- Keyword: type a topic that you would like to read about
- Search
