Pair-It Books by Steck-Vaughn: Books in this series balance age-appropriate literature and reading skills by pairing theme-based fiction and nonfiction softcover books for elementary readers. The patterned and predictable language combines with photos and pictures to support the text for children who are beginning to read and improve comprehension strategies. For grades K-5. Six- packs, Audio Cassettes, and Starter Sets are available by special order. It normally takes me about 10 business days to get them. I can also get Teacher Guides and Big Books (for a few selected titles) and Spanish titles. Please inquire. Prices normally go up at the beginning of each year. Prices below are 2010 prices and are subject to change whenever changed by the publisher. My prices are generally 10% below the publisher prices. If an item doesn't have a number below, just order by title and specify whether it is single or a six-pack. Some titles were published after I made the data base and I haven't assigned them a number yet. Titles with blue title links can be purchased on our e-commerce site when in stock. If out of stock, it will say they are unavailable. When this happens, click on contact dealer if you want me to special order it for you. I can do this as long as the publisher has it in stock.
New in 2007 -- a reproducible bilingual reading comprehension series that incorporates the text in English and Spanish of 22 of the titles below. See details of this new series which includes reading comprehension activities. These are currently available for grades 1 and 2. They complement the Pair-it Books. They don't replace them.
Another
new series has come out that also incorporates the text of several Pair-it Books
into four reproducible books that include comprehension, vocabulary, and
critical thinking activities, as well as several graphic organizers. This is the
Leveled Reading Series, and its books might be a helpful supplement to the
Pair-it Books, even if they are not paired. There are two fiction books, one
social studies themed book, and one science themed book.
You can find the Leveled Reading
Series for grades 2-3 here.

We're in the Pacific Time Zone
Our normal office hours when we answer the phone are 10: 30 AM - 4 PM Monday -
Friday.
We answer email and ship at other times, but normally take Sundays off.
We prefer you ask your questions about products
and availability by
e-mail (barbsbooks@sbcglobal.net), since that gives us more time to prepare a thoughtful answer and
keeps us from playing phone tag. Please remember to put our email address in
your address book if you have a spam filter or you won't ever get your answer
unless you also leave a phone number. We cannot usually tell you immediately over the phone if a
book is here. We have to walk two blocks to check the warehouse, so I usually
have to call you back or email you anyway. We do check our e-mail frequently
throughout the day when we are at home. If we should be out, and you leave a
message on our answering machine, we sometimes cannot hear the phone number
clearly to return your call. Those are some reasons why we recommend you email
us first. If you want us to call you, please leave your phone number and time
zone.
When you do email us, please do not leave the subject blank or just say "Hi" or
"Hello" as the subject. We delete those before opening because a lot of spam
messages look like that.
We have supplied a subject line in the link provided above that will guarantee
your mail will be opened fast.
Or call (800)925-8587 (not before 10 AM or after 10 PM Pacific Time)
