Copyright Question

["<Darla Grediagin>" <Jelinek121@AOL.COM>]

I am on the language arts curriculum committee in my district.  We would like
to include a list of leveled words that the students are required to know at
the end of 1st grade, 2nd grade, and so on.  I have found such a list in the
book The Reading Teacher's Book of Lists.  I seem to recall that while they
would hold a coplyright on their presentation of the list, they don't have a
copyright of these words in a list.

In other words, if I retype the words would I still be infringing copyright?

Please help.  I have tried looking up this information and I have two phone
calls into librarians that I know could help, unfortunately they are out of
their libraries due to other programs.

Thanks in advance,
