KEEP BOOKS

but appropriate books in the home (as little as 25 cents per book).

Create positive communications with parents and caregivers.

Enhance achievement because children are motivated and encouraged to read at home.

Were developed and written by educators.

Are leveled for Guided Reading (Fountas & Pinnell) and Reading Recovery.

Provide children (pre-K through grade 2) with books to take home to read again and again!

KEEP BOOKS offer a wide variety of high interest titles at reading levels appropriate for 
pre-kindergarten through grade 2. The format of simple line drawings encourages the child 
to contribute color and add details to the illustrations. There is a place for the child to write 
his or her name. Some sets also have a practice page for writing and spelling. Children learn 
to read and to take care of their books at school. KB boxes are now available for children to 
use a s a special place to organize and store their books either in the classroom or at home.

KEEP BOOKS are 4 1/2 x 5 1/2 or 5 1/2 x 4 1/2. Levels and word counts are indicated on 
the back cover of each book.
