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.
