Collections for Developing Skilled Readers & Writers
We have teamed up with one of the brightest literary consultants in education today to offer exclusive collections for Kindergarten to Grade 5. Each grade level collection thoughtfully bridges to Jennifer’s top strategies from her acclaimed publications, The Reading Strategies Book and The Writing Strategies Book, to help you more easily develop your readers and writers.
Each collection promises:
Jen's Favorite
Go-To Books
READING
Jen's favorite go-to books for teaching grade-appropriate reading strategies. Short, engaging fiction and nonfiction texts by grade level can be visited again and again for read alouds, whole class mini lessons, small group instruction, or used as mentor texts for individual conferring.
WRITING
Each collection contains grade-appropriate texts that are aspirational without being written in a way that is overly complicated for a specific grade level. You will find different writing styles, including: narratives, informational texts, poetry, persuasive writing, and more.
Easy Shopping & Convenient Storage
As with any AKJ Education collection, we offer you affordable titles from different publishers. No searching, no price hunting—this is a simple one-click solution.
A complimentary storage bin to organize and display your collection is included.
