Moonlighting as a Volunteer at the San Diego public library, I heard from the librarian that parents and teachers often walk in looking for a book for a particular reading level. And how many reading levels are there in the SD school system? 10. The parents are lost as the reading level numbering makes no real sense. From Level A to level 3 to Level 770E, the numbering is min numbing.
Melanie Handley a fellow volunteer has embarked on a long never ending journey to catalogue every single book in the children’s section according to various reading level it falls under.
That was the spark behind BookWiz, an online cross referenced catalogue of children’s books which can be searched and cross referenced across various reading levels.
The project is hosted here...
