The Level J shelf includes books from genres that may be new to your students: more complex nonfiction, simple biographies, and more complex traditional folktales. In these books, picture support is minimal, so readers need to make clear mental images in part by drawing on their own experiences, bringing life-connections to the book.
The books in this library shelf are also included in the complete Grade 2 Below Benchmark Classroom Library. For complete details about the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project Classroom Libraries please visit CalkinsLibraries.com.
