Leveled readers, ‘user-friendly’ identification labels


One of the components of new language-arts curriculum at Santa Rosa Charter School for the Arts, was the inclusion of “leveled” readers. The same title might be produced in four different ways depending upon a reader’s ability, but with only a number-rating on the back and a different-colored border on the cover to identify which book was which.

Well, I thought when preparing this curriculum, I could provide better “customer service.” In order to help teachers to clearly distinguish same-titles with different rates of difficulty, I created identifying stickers. And I think the design is subtle so that students shouldn’t latch onto which of their classmates have which level of book. My appreciation to parent-volunteers who assisted with label-application.
