Books are listed in ascending level of difficulty.  The “mean DRP” (blue text following book title) indicates a reading level which can assist in selecting a book of appropriate reading difficulty level. Remember, however, these levels are based on “typical students” not our advanced students.

Instructional Level DRP Scores refer to the difficulty of materials students can read with 75 percent comprehension or (P=.75).  Independent Level DRP Scores refer to the difficulty of materials students can read with 90 percent comprehension or (P=.90).
