Ask your child’s teacher what level she is at, and request a list of appropriate books. However, when reading at home, educators say that children should read a level or two below the one they read at in school, where they are receiving instruction from the teacher. What level should my child be reading at in each grade? There are ranges of levels within each grade. Your child’s teacher can address your child's current level and the goals she is working on with your child. With good instruction, your child will steadily become a better reader, even if he is one or two levels behind peers.
