The Karen Collection (Grade 2)

The SongLake Books Karen Collection includes 289 books:  6 copies each of 48 paperback titles and 1 hardcover biography.  These titles have been hand-picked from approved publishers and reorganized into guided reading sets for classrooms, Title I, and new federal programs such as RTI, i3, et al.  They are also ideal for bookrooms.

Books in the Karen Collection span guided reading levels H–M to meet the varied needs of students found in a typical grade 2 classroom.  Different genres at each level offer you more flexibility in choosing titles of interest to your students.

Denise Fleming's hardcover biography, Maker Of Things (Level O), and 6 copies of her In The Small, Small Pond are included in this bookset.  Children are eager to read additional Denise Fleming 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.
