Babies and Toddlers: features books for infant to 3 years.<br />

Preschool and Kindergarten: features books for children 3 to 6 years.<br />

School Age and Up: features books for children 7 years of age and up. Although this section is indicated for<br />

older children, it offers many books that younger children can enjoy with the help of a parent.<br />

Complete Leveling Information available at edclibrarybooks.<strong>com</strong>. Guided Reading levels (Fountas and<br />
