Text Levels– Tool or Trouble? | Irene Fountas

Text Levels– Tool or Trouble? | Lesley University Center for Reading Recovery and Literacy Collaborative: "With every good intention, the levels may have been applied by professionals in ways we would not have intended. We did not intend for levels to become a label for children that would take us back to the days of the bluebirds and the blackbirds, or the jets and the piper cubs. Our intention was to put the tool in the hands of educators who understood their characteristics and used it to select appropriate books for differentiated instruction".
