Thank you to those who sent responses to my posting for suppliers of
low level AR books.  Below are the suggestions I received:
Orca Soundings series of books by a Canadian publisher

Capstone Press??  They have great non fiction and at one time gave free AR
tests.  We are reading counts and they don't have our tests, but I buy their
books anyway.  You can't beat their non-fiction.

Click on the link and search by book levels.  Clicking into the record
through the title will show the publishers.  Then you can search by
publisher's name in the "Advanced" mode.

Gumdrop Books is sending me a set of .3-9 BL books to preview.
Haven't seen them yet, but it is so hard to find at that level,
anything would be helpful.
gumdropbooks.com
phone 800-281-7199

I used to get the Welcome books.  If you go into titlewave.com and
search welcome books it will show you all the sets.  You'd have to
check the levels on AR, but I think most of them were 1st grade level.
 Some of the Rookie Readers have AR tests, you can look up specific
titles also on titlewave.  We used to have some books by Margaret
Hillert that were lower level too, but some of them were as high as
2nd or 3rd so double check the AR level before purchasing any of them.

Perma-bound

Capstone, ABDO and Bearport are all good places to find such books.

I would try Mackin.com
I just bought some of the High Noon books (although I bought what I
could from PermaBound and am moving on to Machin  to buy more...)
highnoon.com (I think) and the kids love them. I didn't go that low,
but they might have some available. On the other hand, I find that
students have a horrible time testing on really low books (such as
Margaret Hillert books and the Rookie Reader series).

I have had good success with Follett.  You can search their Internet
site by AR book level.

Thanks again to all who sent in responses.  I now have several places
to search for these books.
