Match your student's reading level to the appropriate books using Kaeden's Text CorrelationChart. Kaeden Book Levels correspond to Reading Recovery, Guided Reading and DRA levels to help you select the best books to suit the needs of your classroom.

All of our books are leveled by reading professionals and teachers trained in Reading Recovery. Many of our books are leveled by the Reading Recovery Council of North America and are included on the Reading Recovery Book List. Kaeden also assigns a Guided Reading level using the Fountas and Pinnell leveling guide. The Developmental Reading Assessment (DRA) levels are provided as an additional resource for book selection.
