About the 1st grade Maryland Black-Eyed Susan Book Award reading list

Maryland Black-Eyed Susan Book Award is the Maryland Black-Eyed Susan Book Award framework. ReadingList tracks 32 titles referenced by Maryland Black-Eyed Susan Book Award at the 1st gradelevel, each tied to a primary-source citation on the book’s detail page. The framework is published at maslmd.org.

At the 1st grade level — the K-2grade band — students are emerging and early readers, with the curriculum focused on decoding, fluency, and read-aloud comprehension. Per Common Core’s Appendix A complexity bands, text difficulty at this stage typically falls around BR (Beginning Reader) to roughly 500L. A single Maryland Black-Eyed Susan Book Award classroom can still span a wide range of reading levels.

Unlike a state reading list, a Maryland Black-Eyed Susan Book Award list is portable: the same framework is taught across districts and, in the case of AP and IB, across countries. That makes these titles a reliable backbone for 1st grade planning whether you are a teacher mapping a unit, a homeschooler following a recognized sequence, or a parent checking what Maryland Black-Eyed Susan Book Award expects.

How to use this list: treat the Maryland Black-Eyed Susan Book Award titles as the core and layer in state-cited or thematically-related books to round out a 1st gradeyear. Each book’s page shows its Lexile measure, grade range, themes, and any challenge history, so you can match a text to a specific reader rather than to the grade label alone.
