We are pleased to introduce our new SongLake Books Pauline 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 Pauline Collection for grade K include more non-fiction titles; repeated topics; popular fairy tales; repetition and rhyme; how-to; variety of topics; ties to content areas: science, social studies, math; feelings.  The Pauline Collection also features different genres offering more flexibility in choosing titles of interest for your students.  This collection is designed to augment our larger Nathan Collection.

Books in the Pauline Collection span guided reading levels A–D to meet the needs of students found in a typical kindergarten classroom.  The goal is to have kindergartners exit at a level D instructional level.

Our Pauline Collection contains 144 books:  6 copies each of 24 titles organized into a guided reading set with 6 different titles per level.  It is designed for classrooms, Title I/ESEA, and new federal programs such as ESSA, et al.  It is also ideal for bookrooms.

Most 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 Pauline Collection is affordably priced below retail.  This is truly a remarkable value for a well-designed collection from multiple publishers.
