Their teacher may use a Reading Record to calculate any oral reading mistakes and to help determine a suitable guided reading level and books for your child. Kids may also be asked to answer questions about the text or retell the story. Three of the most common leveled reading methods include Guided Reading Level (GRL), Developmental Reading Assessment (DRA) and Lexile Measures.Īt the beginning of the school year, your child will sit one-on-one with their teacher and read from a benchmark book (one considered standard for the grade).

And why? * Ask your child what the author wants is to think/feel/believe about the story/character/information. * Ask your child what they thought about the story/text?
