I'm trying to find the reading level for books that my boys are reading -- do you have a website that you use? I've found accelerated reader lists at different schools but that is it. Your help will be most appreciated!

I currently use Amazon, however I don't think they're 100% accurate on their age ranges. But they're the only thing I've found so far so I still use them as a guideline.

Thanks for responding! I also used Amazon but their age ranges (ages 9-12, for example) are so broad -- I don't always know what to think of them. I like the accelerated reading levels but haven't found a site with all the books so far, only the books at a specific school.

Try this site. You have to register but the basic limited version is free. There's a database of books with their reading levels. Check out the FAQ section first for an interpretation of the measeaurements and corresponding grade level.

I sometimes use www.bookadventure.com - they have a fun quiz program to earn points, but you can also just search their lists. It's sponsored by Sylvan, but theirs are the only advertisements, and pretty unobtrusive.
