Level M Guided Reading<br />

Characteristics of Text<br />

Level M books have a variety of formats. Topics vary widely, and include<br />

subjects that will be familiar to students as well as those that are new.<br />

Literary selections have complex language and subtle meanings that<br />

require interpretation and background knowledge. Chapter books are<br />

longer with few pictures. This requires readers to have mastery of the text.<br />

Many books have small print and little space between words. Vocabulary<br />

is expanded, and many words require background knowledge for<br />

comprehension.<br />
