Level D Guided Reading<br />

Characteristics of Text<br />

Stories at Level D are slightly more complex than at previous levels.<br />

Generally, Level D books have topics that are familiar to most children,<br />

but also include some abstract or unfamiliar ideas. Text layout is still easy<br />

to follow, with both large and small print. Sentences are a little longer than<br />

at Level C. Some are carried over to the next page or several pages and use<br />

a full range of punctuation. There are more compound words,<br />

multisyllabic words, and words with a variety of inflectional endings.<br />

Illustrations are still supportive, but less so than at the previous level,<br />

requiring the reader to pay more attention to print.<br />
