The Lauren Collection (Grade 1 Single Copies)
We are pleased to introduce our new SongLake Books Lauren Collection. Recognizing that many schools are struggling to meet the demands of the Common Core State Standards, we have scrutinized hundreds of books from approved publishers and hand-selected only those that best align themselves with these standards.
Features of our Lauren Collection for grade 1 include more non-fiction titles; repeated characters; repeated books by the same author/illustrator; repeated topics; different versions of the same fairy tales; repetition and rhyme; variety of topics; ties to content areas: science, social studies, health (emotions/ethics), math; different times and cultures; a play to perform, and one biography of an author along with six copies each of two works by that author. The Lauren Collection also features different genres at each level offering more flexibility in choosing titles of interest for your students. This collection consists of one copy each of titles found in both our Jason Collection and our Michelle Collection.
Books in the Lauren Collection span guided reading levels D-J to meet the varied needs of students found in a typical grade 1 classroom. Note that Fountas/Pinnell have recently revised grade 1 to begin at level D. The goal is to have first graders exit at a level J instructional level.
The Lauren Collection contains 70 books including one hard cover author biography. It is ideal for classrooms, Title I, and new federal programs such as RTI, i3, et al. It is also ideal for bookrooms.
Many titles included in this collection can be found in Fountas and Pinnell's Booklist now found online. Each collection comes with two lists. One list is arranged by levels. The other list is arranged alphabetically. Word counts are included to assist in book selection and scoring of running records.
As with each of our collections the Lauren Collection is affordably priced below retail with no additional shipping or handling charges. This is truly a remarkable value for a well-designed collection from multiple publishers.
