Book Banding For Guided Reading

[Guest]

Hi Everyone,

 

I am in the process of book banding all the school books - ex Lit co-ord got it started a few years ago but was never completed. We have the 4th edition of the handbook but a lot of the books we have are not in it.

Does anyone have a previous version of the book that includes New Way books, Ginn New Reading 360?

 

Many Thanks

Its a massive task, good luck.

 

Have you tried the publishers' websites?

Also check out the TES resources site - someone has put up a version covering many of the main publishers. Also Cumbria have a search function for books to Reading Recovery/Book Band Level which can be 'equated' to Book Band Level. We did find once we had got the books mainly sorted, we were then able to make a judgement on the other books we could not find a level for.

Where can we find out the equivalent book bands for reading recovery bands? Is there a list somewhere? That would be really great.

I googled a while back and found one from Hertfordshire and have attached - I think! I also found ones on the tes website too which is where I found the list of books for book bands too.
