The Doris Collection (Grade 4)

The SongLake Books Doris Collection includes 48 books:  1 copy each of 48 titles.  These titles have been hand-picked from approved publishers and reorganized for grade 4 classrooms, Title I, and new federal programs such as RTI, i3, et al.  They are also ideal for independent reading.

Books in the Doris Collection span guided reading levels O–T to meet the varied needs of students found in a typical grade 4 classroom.  Different genres at each level offer you more flexibility in choosing titles of interest to your students.

Jean Fritz's hardcover biography, Surprising Myself, her What's The Big Idea, Ben Franklin?, and her Where Do You Think You're Going, Christopher Columbus? are included in this bookset.  Children are eager to read additional Jean Fritz works and try their own hand at writing!

All titles included in this collection can be found in Fountas and Pinnell's Booklist K–8+.  Each collection comes with two lists.  One list is arranged by levels.  The other list is arranged alphabetically.
