Level O Guided Reading<br />
Characteristics of Text<br />
Books at Level O include selections from children’s literature and chapter<br />
books. Books at this level explore more mature themes and topics that go<br />
beyond students’ experience and expand it. Students can empathize with<br />
characters and learn about the lives of others. The vocabulary is<br />
sophisticated and varied. Most words will be known or within students’<br />
control; however, many will require interpretation of meaning. Many new<br />
multisyllabic words are included. Sentences are more complex and use a<br />
full range of punctuation.<br />
