Attention Librarians and Educators—Choose Your Own Adventure Series is Finally Leveled
Waitsfield, Vermont (PRWEB) August 23, 2017 -- After over a decade back in print, Chooseco, publisher of the world-famous Choose Your Own Adventure(R) interactive book series, has had the series leveled by a qualified reading specialist using the Fountas and Pinnell guidelines for determining text gradient.
The leveling includes all Choose Your Own Adventure sub-series including 40 “Classic” titles, three “Choose Your Own Nightmares,” and four “From the Lost Archives.” All titles from the “Dragonlarks” imprint for younger readers were also leveled.
Why is Book Leveling Important?
Reading experts have found that using leveled reading instruction helps encourage reading in the classroom, while also guiding educators when building lesson plans and creating classroom reading spaces.
“We have heard from educators and librarians for years that they would like to incorporate Choose into their classroom and guided leveling clearly identifies which books are best for an individual reader,” Shannon Gilligan, Chooseco CEO & Publisher, states.
Because the Choose Your Own Adventure books are interactive with multiple endings, the series has been difficult to level. Each storyline within a book contains a varied amount of text per page, number of pages per storyline, and illustrations-to-text ratios.
Chooseco will be continuing efforts to position Choose Your Own Adventure best for educators and librarians, while also bringing new titles to the series every publishing season.
