Guided Reading Leveling Charts (and How to Use Them)
Guided reading is one of the most effective ways to help your students develop core reading skills, boosting comprehension and helping young readers analyze plot, characters, complex themes, and more. Of course, to create a thriving guided reading program, you’ll need a diverse collection of high-interest books—and guided reading leveling charts are the perfect tool to help you find exactly what you need. Here’s everything you need to know about guided reading leveling charts and how to use them.
Add even more high-interest reads to your classroom library with these guided reading booklists for every level.
For your guided reading program to succeed, you’ll have to introduce books to your young readers that are both challenging and interesting to them. This Guided Reading Leveling Resource Chart from Scholastic helps you do this by making it easy to find and organize books by Guided Reading, Development Reading Assessment (DRA), and Lexile® levels.
Each book found through our leveling chart is assigned a guided reading level based on the increasing complexity of 10 common book characteristics your students will encounter as they progress as readers:
· Genre
· Text Structure
· Content
· Theme and Ideas
· Language and Literary Features
· Sentence Complexity
· Vocabulary
· Words
· Illustrations
· Book and Print Features
By keeping each of these characteristics in mind, you can find books that will challenge your students in specific areas and help them grow as readers.
How to create leveled book lists
Guided reading leveling charts aren’t only for finding and organizing books, they’re a useful tool for creating leveled books lists specifically tailored for your students. Our leveling chart lets you create dynamic books lists with selections leveled using different systems like DRA and guided reading.
These book lists are also a great way to inspire students to read beyond their current level, since you can tailor the list based on high-interest topics your students love. If you have a reluctant reader who lives and breathes outer space, create a reading list of books on the solar system with titles at their current reading level and selections that are a level or two above. This way, even if the books are challenging, their passion for the topic will keep them engaged.
By implementing a well-planned guided reading program, you’ll cultivate a classroom full of strong, independent readers and thinkers with a passion for books.
And leveling charts are one of the most important tools you’ll use, helping you find the perfect books to meet your young readers needs and keeping your classroom library organized and accessible at the same time.
If you’re looking for one more must-have resource to add to your guided reading toolbox, be sure to check out our Book Wizard. With this tool, you can easily search books by guided reading level system, genre, and grade.

Rating of countries in the world by level of education - Humanitarian portal
The Education Index is a composite indicator of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) that measures the achievements of a country in terms of the educational attainment of its population. The index is considered as one of the key indicators of social development and is used to calculate the Human Development Index, issued as part of a special series of reports of the United Nations (UN) on human development.
Before 2010, the Index was measured by combining the actual adult literacy rate and the combined enrollment rate of the entire population in primary, secondary and tertiary education:
- Adult literacy rate (2/3 weight).
- Index of the combined share of students receiving primary, secondary and higher education (1/3 of the weight).
These two dimensions of education were combined in the final Index, which was standardized as numerical values from 0 (minimum) to 1 (maximum). It is generally accepted that developed countries should have a minimum score of 0.8, although many of them had a score of 0.9or higher.
Since 2010, the Index has been measured by combining the mean years of schooling for adults with the expected years of schooling for students under the age of 25, each weighted equally:
- Expected Years of Schooling - The number of years of schooling a student is expected to attend school or other educational institution (1/2 weight).
- Average years of schooling (years) is the average number of years of schooling actually completed by a student aged 25 and over (1/2 weight).
Until 2019, when determining a place in the world ranking, all countries were ranked on the basis of the Educational Level Index, where the first place corresponded to the highest value of this indicator, and the last to the lowest. Since 2020, a separate rating ranking the countries of the world according to the composite Education Level Index has not been released.
The education level index, although it is a fairly universal indicator, has a number of limitations. In particular, it does not reflect the quality of education itself, which in some cases can be very low or significantly limited. It also does not fully show the difference in the availability of education due to differences in age requirements and duration of education. Indicators such as average years of schooling or expected years of schooling, which are currently used to calculate the Index, are more representative, although relevant data were not available in the statistics of many countries until recently.
In addition, the Index does not take into account students studying abroad, which may skew data for some small countries.
Data on the level of education of the population of the countries of the world come from the official results of national population censuses and are compared with calculated indicators calculated by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UNESCO Institute for Statistics). Currently, the Index covers UN member countries, as well as some administrative territories with a special status, while the ranking table often includes a smaller number of states, since countries that are unwilling or unable to provide statistics on this indicator are not included in the ranking. Data on the number of citizens enrolled in educational institutions is accumulated by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics based on information provided by the relevant government agencies of the countries of the world. The index is updated every two years, but reports with UN data are usually one year late, as they require international comparison after the publication of data by national statistical services.

The sunburst chart is ideal for showing hierarchical data. Each level of the hierarchy is represented by a single ring or circle, and its top is the circle closest to the center. A sunburst chart without hierarchical data (one level of categories) is similar to a donut chart. However, such a chart with several levels of categories shows the relationship between the outer and inner rings.
The sunburst chart is designed to show how one ring is broken down into its component parts, while the other type of hierarchical chart, the tree chart, is ideal for comparing relative sizes.
