I think it is necessary to level books so that ALL students can find a just
right book. I'm even more convinced of this after reading The Book
Whisperer. I did it for my third grade class and it made all

I think having a WIDE range of levels is very important. You are guaranteed
to have a WIDE range of readers in any given classroom. And don't forget a
nice balance between fiction and nonfiction.
