The Mini Karen Collection (Grade 2)

The SongLake Books Mini Karen Collection includes 121 books:  6 copies each of 20 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 Mini Karen Collection span guided reading levels I–L where the bulk of instruction takes place 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.
