If you are unsure which collection fits your program, phone or email is the more practical route — the site describes the company as gathering input from K-4 teachers and librarians, so a conversation can narrow the choice before you commit to a set.
Documents You Can Request or Find on the Site
The Prices & Ordering section is the starting point for procurement paperwork. It references:
- Price List — current pricing for the collections.
- Order Reservation Form — for reserving an order.
- Sole Source Letter — a document districts often need when justifying a single-source purchase.
These are the three items most relevant to a school or district buyer. The site does not state whether the Price List is downloadable directly or must be requested by phone or email, so if you cannot find it on the page, ask Carol directly.
What to Have Ready Before You Contact Them
SongLake Books sells book sets rather than individual titles, and the catalogue is organized by reading level and program type. Before calling or emailing, it helps to know:
- Your grade band — the catalogue is built around K-4, with sets labeled by grade (Grade K through Grade 4).
- Your reading program orientation — the company explicitly says it does not take sides in the "reading wars" and instead offers sets matched to different approaches:
- Science of Reading — the Phonics Forward set, described as bridging decodables and trade books.
- Diversity — sets featuring only underrepresented races, cultures, and lifestyles.
- Reading Recovery — leveled book sets from the official leveling list.
- Your level range — sets are listed by level, such as Grade K Levels A/B, Grade 1 Levels D/E, Grade 2 Levels J/K, Grade 3 Levels M/N, and Grade 4 Levels P/Q.
Knowing these three things lets you ask a specific question ("I need Grade 1 Levels E/F in the Diversity collection") instead of a general one.
Ordering Notes Worth Knowing
- Three-set minimum per order. The site states a "Three Set Minimum Per Order," so a single set is not an orderable quantity.
- Collections are grouped thematically. Beyond grade and level, the catalogue includes named collections such as Zap the Gap, Icing On The Cake, Too New, New Additions 2025-2026, Diversity RR Singles, and a Keystone Collaboration, plus a Grade K-3 Diversity Read-Aloud Collection.
- Singles and 6-packs are separate listings. For example, Grade K Diversity K Singles and Grade K Diversity K 6-Packs appear as distinct items, so specify which format you need.
A Practical Sequence
- Identify your grade band and reading level range.
- Decide which program orientation applies (Science of Reading, Diversity, or Reading Recovery).
- Check the Price List and Order Reservation Form on the Prices & Ordering page.
- If you need a Sole Source Letter or can't locate the Price List, contact Carol by phone or email with your grade, level, and collection in mind.
- Confirm the three-set minimum before submitting.
SongLake Books describes itself as a small company in business for nearly 30 years, so direct contact is a normal part of the process rather than a fallback.
