LEVEL FOUR BOOKS

The Hunt for R.L.Nox by Heather Doolittle

(NOTE: The Barton System guidelines is that after the end of Level 4, students can read for pleasure. We often find that it is difficult for students to read much beyond their current Barton level and can benefit from books at are close to the Barton Levels. These books may contain “uncontrolled words” (words that Barton has not taught) but should be well within reading ability.)

LEVEL FIVE BOOKS

The Path’s End by Heather Doolittle

LEVEL 6

Echoes of Aesop by Ellen Nicholas
