I am currently teaching 5th grade in an intermediate school that houses students in 4th and 5th grade with a very diverse population. Some children in my class are reading significantly below grade level. Catching these students up to their peers is a challenging task and having books that interest the below level readers is exactly what is needed to allow them to soar into the 6th grade. I also have some students that are reading above grade level and these students need books that challenge them and continue to foster their love of reading.
