Reading Level Chart

To assist teachers and principals with the selection of Operation Outreach books, we have created the Guided Reading Level Chart

Note: The range listed is recommended by Accelerated Reader using the ATOS readability formula to

represent the difficulty level of the text. For example, a book level of 4.5 means the text could likely be read independently

by a student whose reading skills are at the level of a typical 4^th grader during the fifth month of school.
