I find Reading A-Z as great resource for teachers! Reading A-Z is used in a number of different schools across the United States and Canada. It provides teachers with easy-to-use resources such as:
*books correlated with the CCSS.
*lessons, decodable books, reader's theatre, activities related to each individual leveled reader (29 different levels), and assessments.
*fluency passages used to improve children's reading rate.
Reading A-Z provides teachers with over 1,000 leveled readers in different genres which meets the needs of every student. The leveled readers are both projectable and printable. I find this to be useful in the classroom as I am able to project different texts that I allow my students to use in reading centers. Another great feature to the level readers is texts can be provided to students in Spanish. This is great for teachers who have any ELL learners.
Reading A-Z gives you a break down of each of the individual reading levels. It is useful for teachers to know which level their students are on based on their grade level. I also use Reading A-Z as a supplemental for guided reading. For my low students, some of the guided reading books provided by the reading curriculum we currently use, I feel are sometimes still too hard for my low group. Reading A-Z comes in play when I need to provide my students with a lower level reader. With each leveled readers, I am provided with lesson plans, vocabulary words, and activities that correspond with each reader.
