Level C read-aloud books

Guided-reading Level C is typically Kindergarten–Grade 1, around ages 5–6. Two or three lines a page and a real story with a beginning, a middle and an end. Every word highlights as it's read aloud, so a child can follow along whether they're listening or reading themselves.

What your reader is practisingReading sentences that change more from page to page, and starting to rely on the words rather than the pattern.
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.
