Tech Tip: Scholastic Book Wizard

I some how made it three years into my teaching profession without being told about Scholastic's Book Wizard.  Before that, I was just kind of guessing about novel levels and hoping I was using "just right" leveled books.  (Not to worry, I was!)  However, Scholastic eliminates the guessing game with their book wizard tool:

This free online gem lets you figure out grade levels, DRA levels, lexile levels and recommends similar books.  Scholastic also has some great free resources for books, many of which I've used as supplemental materials for my small literature circles.

Enjoy and happy reading!
