Books for Young Learners organized by F/P levels
ALL English BYL books are officially leveled according to The F&P Text Level Gradient™, a widely-used and trusted tool for text selection for small group instruction. These levels indicate progress for readers along a continuum. BYL books have value for shared, guided, and independent reading.
