IMPORTANT UPDATE: As I learn more about the science of reading and how our children learn to read, I have come to the conclusion that leveled books are not the best reading material for brand-new readers. Instead, they need a steady diet of high quality decodable books so they learn to pay attention to the letters and sounds right from the beginning. I will keep this post here, but I wanted to share this important insight.

Today’s post is for the parents who want to support their child’s beginning reading efforts at home – but they visit the library and don’t know where to begin.

Let’s talk easy reader book series.

• My First I Can Read
• Step Into Reading
• Hello Reader
• Ready to Read
• I can Read

And that’s just the beginning! The maddening thing is that each collection of books – and even books within the same series – are wildly different when it comes to reading level.

What’s a parent to do?

The first thing to do is understand guided reading levels. These are the levels that many teachers use when they teach small reading groups.

Level A

Level A books are hard to find at the library, because they’re very, very simple. In fact, teachers usually have to order these books from special publishing companies. But if you hunt, you can find a small collection at your library, such as the books listed above.

Level A books typically have predictable language patterns, high frequency words that are used over and over, and a single line of text per page.

Please note: As stated above, I no longer recommend using these early leveled books with brand new readers. They simply don’t have the phonics knowledge to read the words, and using only leveled books can lead to the bad habit of guessing. 

Level B

Level B books are very similar to A books, but they may have two lines of text on a page. There is a direct correspondence between the text and the pictures; the print is clear and easy to read. Like level A, level B books are in short supply unless you special order them.

Level C

Level C books are longer than level B books, but they still have only a few lines of text per page. The pictures are still very important in supporting meaning. Some level C books use pattern and repetition.

Level D

As you move into level D, you will notice that the stories are slightly more complex. The illustrations support the text, but children will need to pay more attention to the print. Words often contain more inflectional endings, such as ing, ed, and s.

Here I am again! We want all readers to pay attention to print from the very beginning. You can see that these early levels don’t require much of that at all because kids can use pictures and predictable text to “read” many of the books. Contact me via the support tab if you’re looking for quality decodable books.  

Level E

As we move to higher levels, the amount of text gradually increases. Level E books have 3-8 lines of text per page. Stories are more complex, and repeating patterns are less frequent.  While the illustrations are helpful, students will need to do more problem solving to figure out new words.

Sigh. When I originally wrote this post I wrote that kids would need to do “more” problem solving to figure out new words. Now I understand that they should be sounding out words from the very beginning so they can orthographically map the words. Not sure what that means? Contact me via the support tab. 

Level F

Since level F texts are slightly longer than level E, the print is smaller. Text carries more of the meaning, and children need to use sight word knowledge as they read. Unlike lower level books, level F books have a clear beginning, middle, and end.

Level G

These books contain more challenging ideas and vocabulary, and the sentences are longer than lower level books. Level G books introduce children to new vocabulary.

Level H

Level H books are very similar to level G, but the vocabulary and language continue to get more complex. There is less repetition as the books continue to sound more like stories.

Level I

Level I books have a more complex story structure. Illustrations provide low support, and there are more sentences on each page.

Level J

I have found level J to be a magical level. Many, many wonderful books are written for children at level J. Even better – many come in a series. At this point your child is starting to read fluently and maybe even read in his head. Level J books often have short chapters, include dialogue, and have a clear font with space between the lines.

Level K

Level K books are simple, but slightly longer than level J books. Chapters are short. The books include illustrations on most pages, but they are not essential to understanding the text.  Layout is still reader-friendly; level K books have a large, clear font with clear spaces between the lines.

Update

As stated many times in the above post, I no longer recommend the early levels (about levels A-G) for early readers because kids really need to sound out words as they learn to read.

It’s all about helping them permanently store the words in their sight vocabulary. Research tells us that this happens when kids match the sounds to the letters (fancy words: phonemes to the graphemes), and it’s hard for them to do this when they’re not looking at the words at all, but rather looking at pictures to solve words.

I know that many teachers still use the early levels with young readers (I certainly did until diving deep into the research led me to reconsider). 

But if you are teaching brand new readers, let me encourage you to use decodable text instead. Search “decodable” in the site’s search bar. In the future I’ll be adding free decodable texts to this website.

Assign the Directory Readers role to an Azure AD group and manage role assignments - Azure SQL Database

Scope: Azure SQL Database Azure SQL Managed Instance Azure Synapse Analytics

This article describes how to create a group in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) and assign it the Directory Readers role. Directory Readers permissions allow group owners to add additional members to groups, such as Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Managed Instance, and Azure Synapse Analytics managed identities. In this case, assigning the Directory Readers role directly to each Azure SQL logical server identity in the tenant does not require Global Administrator or Privileged Role Administrator rights.

This guide uses the feature described in Use Azure AD groups to manage role assignments.

For more information about the benefits of assigning the Directory Readers role to an Azure AD for Azure SQL group, see Directory Readers role in Azure Active Directory for Azure SQL.

Note

With Microsoft Graph support for Azure SQL, you can replace the Directory Readers role with lower permissions. For more information, see User-assigned managed identity in Azure AD for Azure SQL.

Prerequisites

• Azure AD instance. For more information, see Set up and manage Azure AD authentication with Azure SQL.
• SQL Database, SQL Managed Instance, or Azure Synapse.

Assign the Directory Readers role using the Azure portal

Create a new group and assign owners and roles

1. This initial setup requires the user to have Global Administrator or Privileged Role Administrator permissions.

2. The privileged user must sign in to the Azure portal.

3. Navigate to Azure Active Directory resource . In section Managed go to section Groups . To create a group, select Create group .

4. Select Security as the group type and complete the rest of the fields. Verify that setting Azure AD roles can be assigned to group set to Yes . Then assign the Azure AD Directory Readers role to the group.

5. Assign Azure AD users as owners of the created group. The group owner can be a regular AD user who does not have an Azure AD administrator role assigned. The owner must be a user who manages SQL Database, SQL Managed Instance, or Azure Synapse.

6. Press button Create

Checking the created group

Note

Verify that parameter Group type is set to Security . Groups Microsoft 365 are not supported for Azure SQL.

To check and manage the group you created, go back to the Groups area in the Azure portal and look for the group name. Once a group has been selected, additional owners and members can be added by selecting menu Owners and Members in parameter Control . You can also check the assigned roles for the group.

Add an Azure SQL Managed Identity to a group

Note

We're using SQL Managed Instance in this example, but the same steps can be applied to SQL Database or Azure Synapse with the same results.

The user no longer needs Global or Privileged Administrator rights for subsequent steps.

1. Sign in to the Azure portal as the user who manages SQL Managed Instance and the owner of the group you created earlier.

2. Search the Azure portal for SQL Managed Instance resource name .

   An Azure identity was created for your instance during SQL Managed Instance creation. The generated identity has the same name as the SQL Managed Instance name prefix. To find the service principal for a SQL Managed Instance identity created as an Azure AD application, follow these steps:0003

   • Navigate to Azure Active Directory resource . Under option Manage , select Enterprise Applications . Object ID is the instance ID.

3. Navigate to Azure Active Directory resource . In section Managed go to section Groups . Select the created group. In your group parameter Managed select Members . Select Add Members and add the SQL Managed Instance service principal as a group member by searching for the name above.

Note

Propagating service principal permissions through the Azure system and granting access to the Microsoft Graph API can take several minutes. You may have to wait a few minutes before you begin provisioning an Azure AD administrator for SQL Managed Instance.

For SQL Database and Azure Synapse, the server identity can be created during or after the Azure SQL logical server is created. For more information about creating or configuring a server identity in SQL Database or Azure Synapse, see Enable service principals for creating Azure AD users.

To configure an Azure AD administrator for SQL Managed Instance, the Managed Instance identity must be assigned the Directory Readers 9 role0018 .
