I have a dynamic group of thirty-five bright and talented 4th and 5th graders. This group is thirsty for top quality, complex text that our basal readers and other classroom sets don't always fulfill. The implementation of the Common Core State Standards demands that teachers provide top quality complex texts that focus on literature and nonfiction work. Our public elementary school site is a huge melting pot of diverse cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. About a third of my students fall under the English language learner qualification. As a reader this means that they struggle, more than native English speakers, to distinguish between literal and figurative interpretations of the text. My students would benefit greatly from the skills they would acquire from the exposure to rich classics such as fables, myths, poetry and prose where they develop their ability to understand implied meaning versus explicit meaning.
