My Students

My students are eager to learn, especially after staying home for the last 18 months. They are fun-loving and motivated, they just need the right tools to guide their way to successful learning.

My students need hands-on learning, with hands-on materials.

My Project

I am requesting books with just one or two lines of simple, repetitive text per page to help children learn to read with ease and confidence. I want to build reading my students' reading skills at just the right level!

With fiction and nonfiction titles that let small groups of students explore a variety of texts, our engaging books are leveled using Fountas and Pinnell’s system, featuring simple language and familiar subjects to support young readers.

With super-simple text, this story-filled collection is perfect for beginners!

These readers have been carefully leveled using the guided reading system, with just one or two lines of simple, repetitive text per page to help children learn to read with ease and confidence. The set includes 100 books (5 copies each of 20 titles) and a guide with reproducible activities — all in a 12!
