Pre K- K Reading List
by Brian McNealRecommended books for students in Pre K- K
Early Readers Level 1
by Ann Marie GrummA list of over 25 Early Readers containing few words per page that provide children with a satisfying reading-on-their-own-for-the-first-time experience. Tried and true, I've used these particular titles to set kids on the road to reading. In fact, this list includes a few titles from the series, "Road to Reading." Read one of these books to a child and then have the child bring the book home to read or retell to mommy/daddy/caretaker. Two pages, portrait, to be printed front and back and folded lenghthwise. Includes a title page. Modify to meet your needs.
Early Readers Level 2
by Ann Marie GrummThese books provide early readers with a little bit more challenge than the level one books. These books have an average of two sentences per page. Landscape, 2 columns, when printed on both sides will provide a bibliography on one half a sheet of paper.
