Novels & Literature for Instruction -
|
|
| As a result of the curriculum process and with the belief that students in Baldwinsville should experience a wide variety of reading opportunities (novels, other genres of literature, and authors), we have created "Novels/Literature for Instruction" lists for each grade level. Below is the entire list of literature in alphabetical order by title with the assigned grade level at the right. Further below is the entire list by Grade Level. Clarification for using this list of titles: • The titles listed are not to be used at grade levels other than the one identified for direct reading instruction, as a read aloud, or with literature circles. • The titles listed are optional. A teacher may choose to use a title from the list to teach to specific benchmarks, but is not required to do so. • The titles are not exclusive. If a title is not found on the list teachers may continue to use their discretion in choosing to use that title with students. • As new or other titles become available grade levels may opt to add those titles to the list. To do this a textbook adoption form must be submitted. After approval, the new titles will be added to the lists. • It is every teacher’s responsibility to check the lists prior to selecting/using a specific work in the classroom. |
