The Level I shelf contains longer books and some short chapter books. Students must develop skill in accumulating information across a story. These Level I books contain more complex literary language, more complex vocabulary, and often more technical vocabulary, especially in informational books. The Level I books have minimal picture support, which requires readers to use the text to make clear mental images and connections to their own experiences in life or in other books.     Â
The books in this library shelf are also included in the complete Grade 1 Below Benchmark Classroom Library. For complete details about the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project Classroom Libraries please visit CalkinsLibraries.com.
