Summary

"Best Books for Building Literacy for Elementary School Children arranges more than 900 children's books, both fiction and nonfiction, by school grade (one through six) and by difficulty level (easy, average, challenging). This enables teachers, librarians, parents, and others to have at their fingertips an extensive bibliography of interesting and worthwhile books for every child. Because the list is annotated and graded, users can easily and accurately choose books that match each child's interests and reading ability. Also included are practical directions for setting up and implementing a voluntary reading program and suggestions on other ways (such as choral reading, recording reading, and echo reading) to faster development."--Jacket.
