Level F Guided Reading<br />
Characteristics of Text<br />
In general, texts at Level F are longer and have more story episodes than at<br />
previous levels. There are also shorter texts with some initial language<br />
patterns. Books have some concepts unfamiliar to children and some are<br />
even abstract, requiring reflection. Pictures continue to support reading,<br />
but closer attention to print is required. Language patterns are more<br />
characteristic of written language than of spoken languages. Some level F<br />
books have smaller print and more words and lines of text. There are many<br />
more new words and a greater variety of high-frequency words. A full<br />
range of punctuation is used to enhance meaning.<br />
