You've come to the right place! We have compiled a list of suggested mentor texts for Common Core Literacy skills that we own here in Ely Library's Education Resources Collection. These lists are based on the work of Jen Jones (Hello Literacy blogger and teacher) for Reading Literature (RL) standards 1-10 for grades K-2. We have expanded these lists with books from our collection to simplify access.
