What book to choose
We used the Anglia levels and Readtheory level to define the level of your books to choose from the library.
The test level and the reading level are not the same. Your test level, as you can see above is higher.
Check the level of your own books
Books that are not from the library can be checked here.
If it's not there, bring your book to school and ask your teacher.
