Summary: Very useful for teachers
Comment: If you are a teacher in the primary grades this book is for you. If you are working on putting together a literacy program for your school or classroom this book will be very helpful for you. It has a lot of ideas on literacy including setting up literacy stations and my personal favorite, leveling books. This is a comprehensive guide on leveling books.

Summary: Great for the book lists!
Comment: The most important part of this book to me are the leveled book lists. They not only list by title, but also give lists by level. If you are find that your classroom needs more books that are at level H, you can quickly locate the section with level H books. Then you'll know right away which books to order. You don't need to search through the alphabetical lists to locate your level. I noticed another reviewer thought the leveled list section was worthless and I completely disagree. I use both lists all the time.

Summary: Concept is Good, but There are Problems.
Comment: Fountas and Pinnell, gurus of the "guided reading" approach to language arts and authors of the best-seller of the same name, have put out a much-needed resource for those schools which have a "literature-based program" and have "book rooms." I skipped over the first portion of the book, which is merely a rehash of GUIDED READING. The useful section is the list of children's books with their appropriate reading level (using their own system, but can be converted to other reading systems). However, when writing a book of this nature it is imperative that the book be regularly updated. This is not the case, unfortunately, so there are numerous trade books left out. The teacher is left to his or her own judgment where the level should be (a very time-consuming process).
The other complaint is why the authors chose to have sections of books listed by title and then crossreferenced them by level. The level section is absolutely worthless; furthermore, more than one person obviously has put the lists together for there are titles on the title list that aren't on the leveled list and vice versa. There should be only ONE list, books listed by title. Books also should have the author when it's clear there is an author. Using the publisher or book series instead of an author is again useless.
