The Diversity 2 Singles Collection
(Grade 2 Single Copies)
SongLake Books proudly introduces our Diversity 2 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 2 set includes 52 titles from 10 leading companies. Most of these titles can be found in Fountas And Pinnell’s online booklist, assuring that they have been field-trialed in schools across the country. Titles span guided reading levels J–M to meet the range of reading abilities of most second graders.
In addition we include a specially chosen “read-to”. This is a beautifully written and illustrated story for the teacher to read aloud to the class. Sunday Shopping tells the story of a girl and her grandmother taking “shopping trips” each Sunday while mom is deployed. This touching story lends itself to discussions of family and traditions.
Diversity 2 is affordably priced with shipping charges included. What an easy way to add diversity to your classroom libraries!
