Book Leveling Stickers

As I have been collecting children's books to put in my future classroom, I have kept an Excel sheet with all kinds of information about each of the books...

Although it is easy enough for me to get on my computer and look at the information on each book, I thought it would be much simpler if I could just open up the back cover of the book and see the Interest Level, Grade Level Equivalent, and Lexile level. These stickers will also help me quickly determine which books should go on my bookshelf in the first place, depending on what grade level I am teaching. (When I start working at a school, I will also color code my books to match the media center.)

This led me to create my Book Leveling Stickers, which you can download here for free from my TpT store. All you need to do is buy the 2" x 4" Avery Shipping Labels (10 labels per sheet)--I bought these from Staples. 

Then, print the Book Leveling Stickers onto the Avery Labels. Each label will yield two stickers. Simply cut each label down the middle, and you will have two 2" x 2" Book Level Stickers. All that will be left to do is fill in the Interest Level (IL), Grade Level Equivalent (GLE), and Lexile level. 

To find this information, I first used the Scholastic Book Wizard App (the website works just as well). This is my favorite leveling app because it tells you the most about a book, but it doesn't have information on all books. I looked at the Level It Books App next to try to find any missing information. When that fails, I just go to the internet and cross my fingers that I will find what I am looking for. Otherwise, I just leave that field blank (shown in red in my Excel sheet above).
