Hi Everyone,
On August 28 I asked the group:
"Do any of you have lists of the books in the 3-6 grade guided
reading collections at your schools? And, if so, would you be willing
to share those titles?"
Below are the 3 responses I received. Thank you!
_________________________________________
These books are kept in our district resource centre. If you search at:
http://drc.sd85.bc.ca/4dcgi/gen_2002/Lang=Def
under the subject tab using the search term 'reading zone' you will
find our collection. They are levelled using the Fountas and Pinnell
system.

Donna, here's a link to my catalog. As you go through the teacher
resource list, the guided reader sets are clearly marked. We bought
ours from Scholastic. Fiction, non-fiction, and early readers are all
classroom novels and the ones marked Kids' Discover are the magazine
sets I've bought on various topics. Hope this helps.

Here is a list of the class sets that we have DRA Levels 38-44+. I
am attaching it as an excel file. Let me know if you get it.
(If you would like the Excel file mentioned, please let me know, and
I will email it to you, since attachments can't be sent through the
listserv)

Here is a suggestion about finding titles using Scholastic, updated
from info contributed by Christine Hatami a couple of years ago:
Log on to Scholastic.com
Scroll down to the Educational Materials section. Click on Scholastic
Reading Counts!
Click on Shop Books and Quizzes in e-Catalog
Search Collections. Put in Interest Level and Category.
You will be rewarded with hundreds of possible categories. Once you
see a title in which you're interested, you can get a summary,
interest and reading level, cost per copy, etc. You do not need to
subscribe to Reading Counts to use this site. I found only a few
titles that appealed to me in any given category, but it is a good
place to start. I was disappointed that there are so many older
fiction titles, though, as I'm more interested in recent titles.
Also, I'm looking back through the past CA Young Reader Medal
intermediate titles (since students nominate the books through their
teachers and/or librarians) for reading levels to see how many
actually fit the wanted parameters. If you have awards in your state
that are basically student driven, that would be a good place to
start searching for books students would enjoy reading.
Hope this information is helpful.
