The Diversity 1 Singles Collection
(Grade 1 Single Copies)
SongLake Books proudly introduces our Diversity 1 book set designed for independent reading. Spotlighting diverse races, cultures, ethnicities, and lifestyles, each book portrays children underrepresented in typical classroom reading material.
This Diversity 1 set includes 49 titles from 10 leading companies. Most of these titles can be found in Fountas & Pinnell’s online booklist, assuring that they have been field-trialed in schools across the country. Titles span guided reading levels D–J to meet the range of reading abilities of most first graders.
In addition we include 3 specially chosen “read-to” titles. These are beautifully written and illustrated stories for the teacher to read aloud to the class. Ian is autistic. Layla wears a head scarf. Marisol just doesn’t conform. What great stories to promote understanding and empathy!
Diversity 1 is affordably priced with shipping charges included. What an easy way to add diversity to your classroom libraries.
