Literature Connections

The links by each kit title below take you to fiction and nonfiction literature related to that kit. Literature is listed by author, title, publisher, date, ISBN #, Reading Level, and includes a short description.

CIBL has not previewed and does not supply these books, but schools can purchase them based on teachers' recommendations or suggestions in kit teacher's guides.

Some of these titles were compiled by Carolina Biological Supply Company, and teachers have suggested others. Feel free to email us your suggestions.
