Level J Guided Reading<br />
Characteristics of Text<br />
Although it supports essentially the same reading behaviors, Level J offers<br />
books that more difficult and varied than those at Level I. It includes<br />
informational books with new concepts and beginning chapter books with<br />
complex narratives and memorable characters. The amount of print varies;<br />
some Level J books have full pages of text with few illustrations.<br />
Generally, illustrations enhance the text but offer little support for<br />
understanding text meaning or figuring out new words. The difficulty of<br />
the language also varies. There are books with easy and familiar language<br />
and others with literary language or other challenges. Texts have many<br />
high-frequency words but may also have unfamiliar and/or technical<br />
words.<br />
