Getting Started
What is the PM Guided Reading Planner?
The PM Guided Reading Planner was created due to demand for easier access to some of Nelson Primary’s most popular teaching resources.
For the first time, you no longer need to purchase separate Student Activity BLMs or Teacher’s Notes for all the PM titles.
You can use the Planner to download them directly, as part of your annual subscription.
How do you navigate the Planner?
The easy-to-use Search bar allows you to browse and search for PM titles.
You’ll see direct links to download each book’s associated Student Activity BLM or Teacher’s Notes PDF document.

PM Books
Why do I see books that I don't own?
The Planner provides access to a full range of PM guided reading titles.
That’s why you might be seeing PM titles that you haven’t seen before or that might not be included in your PM reader class set.
How do I purchase a book?
We’ve included a link to learn more and have the option to Purchase for each title in the Planner.
Click on the “Learn more” link, alongside the Student Activities and Teacher’s Notes links.
I can't find a book that I'm looking for.
- Make sure you’ve typed the title correctly as it appears on the reader
- Make sure you don’t have any filters below the search bar selected
- Try searching for just one word in the title.
- Another possibility is that the title you’re searching for is out of print and has not been included in the Planner collection.
