Good to know about Level 3 books
What is a Level 3 book?
A picture book of about 500 story words over 12 to 20 pages, with more detail than Level 2.
What age is Level 3 for?
Mostly ages 3 to 5. Every book also shows its own age range under its title, so you can check before you open it.
Which level should my child start with?
Choose a level where your child can follow the whole book and still wants the next page. Open any book’s free sneak peek to try its first pages. If a book feels long, step down a level; if it’s over too fast, step up. Levels describe length and detail, not a test your child has to pass.
