IRC Leveled Book Kits

Book kits are a collection of juvenile (children's) titles selected for use with guided reading. Each kit, housed in a red folder complete with book covers for easy browsing, consists of six or more copies of a single title and information pertaining to recommended reading levels. Part of the Instructional Resource Center (IRC) circulating collection, book kit call numbers are a numerical "other call number" beginning with a classification of bookkit and cataloged by accession; the newest title has the highest number. 

 

IRC Book Kit Collection

Leveling was done by students in Dr. Mary Rycik's children's literature course for Book Kits 001 - 091. The remainder of the collection, Book Kits 092 - 101, have recommend level  information for guided reading provided by Scholastic.

Each leveled kit has a label on the bottom right corner of the file folder indicating suggested reading levels; included are grade and stage (emergent, early, early fluent and fluent), F & P (Fountas and Pinnell) and Directed Reading Assessment (DRA). A laminated information sheet is provided with each book kit detailing the criteria.

  • Book kits are located on the second floor of the library, adjacent to the Big Books and Caldecott and Newbery Award books..
  • Original book kits contain six paperback and one hard back copy of the same book.
  • Newer book kits contain only paperback copies of the title.
