BookLevel B read-aloud books
Guided-reading Level B is typically Kindergarten, around ages 4–5. One or two lines per page, still strongly patterned, with the return sweep to a second line. Every word highlights as it's read aloud, so a child can follow along whether they're listening or reading themselves.

Is my child on the right level?Grades and ages here are typical, not a target. A child reading a level or two either side is completely ordinary — the right book is one they can read with only a little help.
