All you require is a standard file folder and a handful of stickies. BINGO! It seems so simple now!
I separated the inside of a folder into sections for each of the reading levels in the range of my students' abilities, placed their names on stickies, and now I'm able to move them quickly and easily, plus it is a piece of cake to pick out meaningful groups based on reading ability. Laminating the folder keeps it in good shape all year long.
I have removed the students' names from the photo, but you get the idea. You can grab this template free in my Freebie Library!
If you have a great strategy for organizing reading levels I'd love to hear it! I'm always looking for ways to make my primary class run smoothly!
A digital version for Google Classroom is available HERE!

What do you use to test your kiddies for a reading level? swissmiz54@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara! We use the PM Benchmark system primarily for leveling student reading. As a quick check I've been using the Reading A to Z benchmark passages with running records. They provide a quick check and the RAZ site provides a correlation chart so I can be sure the levels are matching up to our system!
