1st Grade Books. A Guide for Shared Book Reading




1st grade books, and how I use them



The books that I review and recommend on this site are stories I use as language intervention texts.


I select books based on particular criteria. That is, the selected book has to be engaging and also language rich. For 1st grade level books the stories should have an identifiable narrative and the pictures need to support the story.


The books don't always have to have text. There is much language stimulation that can be obtained from picture books that have no or minimal text, but still have a detailed and unforgettable story.


Mercer Mayer's a boy and a frog series of books are good examples of stories that contain great language, yet feature no text. The pictures provide the story and push the narrative forward.


Please click onto the links for a detailed review of the featured books. Book reviews will be added in the coming months as they become available.


The reviewed books will be listed in alphabetical order.

Some of you Colonials (U.S & Canadian citizens)
may notice that some of the spelling is a
little er...'odd at times. That's because
I spell using the Queen's english, old chap. i.e., 'favor' becomes 'favour.
