Description

Light enough to tuck into your purse, yet packed with information. Based on a classical division of readers [K-6, grammar (three groupings - K, lower and upper grammar); grades 7-9, dialectic; and grades 10-12, rhetoric], this resource gathers information from some of the favorite booklist/reading guides and provides it in a handy spreadsheet format. Books are divided into sections, authors noted, and classified as to levels (easy, average, challenging); notations (read alouds, Newberry medals and awards, Caldecott medals and awards); and genre. Special notes are added for PA history references. Poetry is grouped according to country of origin (UK or US). Pages are provided at the end of each section so you can add books. Approximately 1000 books are cataloged in this small 48 pg book, pb ~ Janice
