In the right hand column, you'll notice a Scholastic Search Box called the Teacher Book Wizard. Use this to help you determine the reading level of books. If you're testing for fluency levels, you need a book that is on your child's grade level. This tool helps you find those resources. And since it's from the Scholastic folks, you can even order them. It offers several other search features that you might find useful.
Remember, when you're testing for fluency, you'll want the child reading for one minute from a book on the grade level he's currently in. Get his Correct Words per Minute and compare that to the national norms to determine if he's performing appropriately for his grade level.
