My Project

Thank you for considering this project. The third grade team at Reiche are ready to start book groups but we need the books. I have included some books written by Kate DiCamillo. I also included great reads like The One and Only, Ivan. My students are ready to dive into these books because they helped choose the books!

Book groups are vital to building comprehension and increasing confidence in literacy.

These books will be used with readers with higher skills in order to continue to challenge all students, not just students that are reading below grade level. Thank you for reading!!!
