The CPS Libraries Team created grade level Recommended Purchasing Lists, strategically compiled by a team of CPS elementary and high school librarians; Dorsey Chambers, Natalie Kendall, Connie Amon, Henrietta Lowery and Megan Cusick in conjunction with Angela Sherril, the Collection Development Specialist of Children’s Plus Inc. to access the newest books published.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">The text exemplar list published in the Appendix of the Common Core standards guided our templates and book choices. Though the books on the exemplar list are classic choices, many are out of print and not available for purchase. The team selected newly published correlative trade books for these lists. The composition of the templates for each grade level echo the exemplar lists providing an array of poetry, fiction and informational texts for each grade level.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Whenever possible, the team consulted Lexile levels to comply with the stretch lexile range for each grade level band with higher lexile ranges for Read Aloud Fiction, Read Aloud Informational and Read Aloud Poetry selections.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">In response to a call for increased text complexity and rigor, the team used stretch Lexile ranges for quantitative measures, considered sample activities, assessments and lesson plans to ensure that qualitative measures and tasks were considered with book selections. We also used major award lists including but not limited to: <span style="color: #505050; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">ALSC Notable Lists
