Abstract

A system and method of correlating book leveling criteria to label leveled reading books is disclosed. An instructional reading level of a selected book leveling method is input into a data entry field of a graphical user interface such as at a personal computer or other processor. This instructional reading level is correlated with instructional reading levels of other book leveling methods to produce correlated instructional reading levels. One or more correlated instructional reading levels are selected to be printed on a label for application onto a reading book.

Claims

1. A method of correlating leveling criteria to label leveled reading books comprising the steps of:

inputting into a processor an instructional reading level of a predetermined book leveling method;

correlating the inputted instructional reading level with instructional reading levels of other book leveling methods to produce correlated instructional reading levels; and

selecting one or more correlated instructional reading levels for printing on a label to be applied onto a reading book.

2. A method according to claim 1, wherein the step of inputting an instructional reading level further comprises the step of accessing a drop down menu of a user interface for a selected book leveling method and selecting an instructional reading level for the selected book leveling method.

3. A method according to claim 1, and further comprising the step of automatically displaying a background color on a user interface corresponding to a label color to be printed based on a selected instructional reading level.

4. A method according to claim 3, and further comprising the step of selecting a desired color to be printed on a label for an instructional reading level.

5. A method according to claim 1, and further comprising the step of inputting custom data to be printed onto each label.

6. A method according to claim 5, and further comprising the step of maintaining custom data to be printed after changing instructional reading levels to be printed on labels.

7. A method according to claim 1, and further comprising the step of selecting a row and column for printing on labels at selected locations on prearranged label sheets.

8. A method according to claim 1, and further comprising the step of user selecting an option to print labels in color or black and white.

9. A system for correlating leveling criteria for leveled reading books comprising:

a memory containing instructional reading levels of predetermined book leveling methods;

a processor for receiving an instructional reading level of a selected book leveling method and correlating the instructional reading level with instructional reading levels of other book leveling methods contained within the memory to produce correlated instructional reading levels; and

a user interface operative with the processor and data store for displaying the correlated instructional reading levels, wherein a user selects one or more of the correlated instructional reading levels for printing the instructional reading levels on a label to be applied onto a reading book.

10. A system according to claim 9, wherein said user interface includes a drop down menu for selecting an instructional reading level to be correlated with instructional reading levels of other book leveling methods.

11. A system according to claim 9, wherein labels are printed in one of black and white or in a color of a selected instructional reading level to be printed on a label.

12. A system according to claim 9, wherein said user interface includes a background color corresponding to a color that is printed on a label.

13. A system according to claim 9, wherein said user interface includes a custom data field into which custom data can be input for printing onto a label.

14. A system according to claim 9, wherein said user interface includes a print section having data input fields for selecting a row and column for printing labels in selected locations on prearranged label sheets.

15. A user interface that is operative with a memory having instructional reading levels in different book leveling methods and a processor for receiving and correlating instructional reading levels of the different book leveling methods to produce correlated instructional reading levels and comprising:

a search section having a data entry field for entering an instructional reading level of a predetermined book leveling method; and

a label section for displaying correlated instructional reading levels of different book leveling methods to be selected for printing on a label to be applied to a reading book.

16. A user interface according to claim 15, wherein said label section has a background color corresponding to a color of labels to be printed.

17. A user interface according to claim 16, wherein a color is user selected.

18. A user interface according to claim 16, wherein said label section includes custom data fields for entering custom data to be displayed on a label.
